Wet, Warm and Noisy (Jake Ward)

"A dark, riveting mystery." – Kirkus Reviews

A routine polygraph. A violent escape. A conspiracy that defies the laws of physics.

Alaska State Trooper Investigator Jake Ward is fighting two battles: one against the cancer that nearly killed him, and one to get his badge and gun back. Stuck on light duty in the frozen north, he is desperate for action. He’s about to get more than he can handle.
It starts with a simple polygraph test for a woman in custody. But when she breaks out—leaving a trail of blood and a critically injured officer behind her—Ward realizes this was no random escape.
Ignoring his orders to stand down, Ward plunges into an unauthorized investigation that leads him into the darkest corners of the Alaskan wilderness. He uncovers a shadow operation involving illegal medical experimentation and a terrifying question: What if the human mind can do things that shouldn't be possible?
As the temperature drops and the body count rises, Ward must rely on his instincts to survive a threat that is smarter, faster, and stranger than anything he has ever faced.

Perfect for fans of the X-Files and Michael Connelly, Wet, Warm and Noisy is a gritty, high-stakes thriller rooted in authentic Alaska State Trooper procedure.
