Wyatt Peoples Mystery Series
The Wyatt Peoples Mysteries is a historical crime series blending Alaskan frontier adventure, traditional detective mystery, and character-driven storytelling. At its heart is Wyatt Peoples—a tough but troubled lawman whose attempts to build a new life in Alaska repeatedly put him in the path of murder and intrigue. From remote gold-mining towns to the Alaska Railroad, Wyatt and those closest to him confront criminals, hidden identities, corporate interests, and the harsh realities of life on the frontier.
The series' appeal lies not only in solving the mysteries, but in Wyatt's personal journey: a man carrying the scars of his past while trying to find purpose, justice, and perhaps love in one of America's last great frontiers.
Series Debut: "Gold Miner's Daughter"
In 1960s Alaska, former Texas
lawman Wyatt Peoples seeks
peace in the rugged gold mining
town of Chicken. When a friend is
murdered and the eccentric locals
elect Wyatt as their reluctant
sheriff, he is thrust into a deadly
conspiracy. Battling ruthless
corporate greed, freezing rivers,
and his own PTSD, Wyatt must
solve the killings to protect his
claim and the fiery gold miner’s
daughter he loves.
Book 2: "Double-Sided Coin"
When a woman is found dead
aboard the Fairbanks-to-
Anchorage run, it looks like a
routine tragedy. It isn’t. The
victim was a familiar face to
the train crew—until it turns
out she wasn’t who anyone
believed her to be. Special
Agent Wyatt Peoples and his
Chief Deputy Greg Baker peel
back layers of deception.
Book 3: Coming Soon!
Book 3 promises to continue Wyatt's adventures, combining the elements that define the series: frontier justice, murder and mystery, memorable and unconventional characters, and the stark beauty and danger of the Alaskan wilderness.
