Synopsis

Chee-Chalker: a newcomer or tenderfoot. Bill Norton might be new to Ketchikan but he's no tenderfoot. In fact, he's an FBI agent — looking for his boss, who vanished investigating a heroin smuggling ring. What Norton finds is murder... and a heart-stopping heiress. But is she, too, mixed up in the heroin trade? It will take all of Norton's CSI-like skills to squeeze out the truth.
