Alaska - too big, too beautiful, too unforgiving, a land of myth and imagination. America's last frontier, where a man can lose himself, or lose his life. Clean Slate is a story of losing everything, the necessity and cost of violence, and the redemptive power of love. From the king crab fishery of the Bering Sea to the forests and fjords of Southeast Alaska, Pete McLaughlin drifts, hiding from his past. In Juneau, he finds the love of a great woman and builds a quiet life as the owner of a bookstore. Pete and Annie's peace is shattered when they perform a Good Samaritan act, and the repercussions threaten to unleash the violence of Pete's past. They devise a plan to turn the tables, but the tables turn and turn again before a conclusion that will sweep you away.
