About the Book

A crime-comedy called "smart and funny" by Kirkus Reviews and made an Editor's Pick by Publisher's Weekly, Mr. Sweetcheeks in Alaska pits its very nice convicted-killer hero against both the forces for good and the forces for evil in a small, Alaska town, circa 1950. Alan Sweetcheeks puts his trust in a fuddy-duddy benefactor, falls for the district attorney's beautiful receptionist, finds work in a cow-less dairy, and collides headlong with a vice boss wrapped in red-fox furs. He is also gifted with the opportunity to commit the almost perfect crime. A crooked police chief, a slovenly landlady, a Studebaker in desperate need of repairs, and a philosophical short-order cook complicate this felon's fortunes and add to his hilarious adventures. "One delicious romp from beginning to end," reviewer Anne Emerson said of this comic-crime gem.

About the Author :
In writing "Mr. Sweetcheeks in Alaska," Robert Kinerk drew on his years growing up in Ketchikan, where he worked as a logger, newspaper reporter, volunteer fireman, and clerk in his father's grocery store. Those same experiences fed his writing of the short story collection, "Tales from the Territory: Stories of Southeast Alaska." He is the proud author of "The Fish Pirate's Daughter," Alaska's longest running play, on stage since 1966. His first book for children, "Slim and Miss Prim," won the Western Writers of America Storyteller Award in 1997. Another of his children's books, "Clorinda," was named a Best Book by Child Magazine in 2003. He has written five other children's books and has written musical plays for children. For adults he has written plays and fiction. His plays have been performed on stages ranging from Nome to New York City, and three of his musical spoofs, including A Streetcar Named Retire, have been enjoyed at the Harvard Institute for Learning in Retirement. He and his wife, Anne, now make their home in Cambridge, MA.
