Lost Hours is the fifth instalment in Paige Shelton's gripping, atmospheric Alaska Wild series.A year after arriving in Benedict, Beth Rivers is feeling very at home in Alaska, even as outsiders are starting to return to enjoy the brief summer perfection. Beth feels like shes finally let go of most of her demons. Shes even found her father, Eddy Rivers-or, rather, he found her-and she's trying to find the middle ground between anger and forgiveness.One sunny July day, Beth boards a tourist ship to see the glaciers, the main reason visitors venture to the area, and something Beth hasnt attempted until now. But when the captain has to navigate to an island, a bloodied woman is found standing on the shore, waving for help. When shes brought aboard, she claims she was kidnapped from her home in Juneau three days earlier, and that a bear on the island killed her captor. She, however, is unharmed.The woman, Sadie, finds a sympathetic ear in Beth. She tells her that shes been in Juneau under witness protection, and that the Juneau police dont like her. When another kidnapping occurs, Beth and police chief Gril cant help but think the two cases are interwoven, though the clues to solving them will be harder to unravel.
