Cold as Hell by Kelley Armstrong. This is the third book in the Haven's Rock series which is a continuation of her Rockton novels. Haven's Rock, like Rockton, is a small town built in the Yukon wilderness where people who need to disappear because their lives are in danger. There are no roads, resupply is by it's small airplane, no radio/TV/internet, and the town is camouflaged to prevent outsiders from finding them. Casey Butler is a detective living there who, with her husband and their deputy, handle any disturbances and crimes to the 80 plus people living there. Unfortunately, murders also happen in and around Haven's Rock requiring her skills to solve.

Luke tells his daughter, her husband, and the granddaughter's doctor he can save her life with an untried experimental treatment he developed but the refuse to allow it. Luke convinces his granddaughter's doctor to help him take Angela to a clinic Oregon where he can treat her. Now, an FBI agent is on their tail as is the security chief for the billionaire who funds Luke's research. To compound the problem, Luke is giving himself the treatment he wants to give Angela and it's making him younger.

First Sign of Danger by Kelley Armstrong is the fourth Haven's Rock book. Casey Butler and her sheriff husband are on a hike outside Haven's Rock when they come across a husband and wife lost hiking in the area. The husband injured his ankle and Casey helps bandage the man's ankle and gives them directions to where the husband and wife are hiking to and away from discovering Haven's Rock. The next day, Casey and her husband check the area to make sure they couple have left and they discover the husband has been murdered and the wife is nowhere around. The question is who murdered him and where is the murderer now.
