“McKie Campbell's "Clean Slate" is a superb adventure story, replete with thrills, chills, and two
perfectly-developed characters who must confront both imminent peril and their own imperfect
pasts. Campbell's prose is filled with vivid descriptions that bring the reader along for a thrill-
ride through the wilds of Alaska. The plot has many twists and turns and is gripping throughout,
with the tension building to a powerful finale. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and highly
recommend it to any lover of adventure fiction, mysteries, or action thrillers. I truly look forward
to the next book from this highly talented author. Five stars!”

“I devoured this book in 2 days and would recommend to anyone who enjoys storytelling,
adventure and suspense. At its heart is a love story both to the majesty of Alaska and between a
well-developed couple. The ending is absolutely pulsating and stuck with me long after reading.”

“Event Cascade. Two people, strangers; both escaping bad pasts. A dog who only understands
Norwegian, the image of a boat shuddering under tons of green water. Tlingit, Haida and
Tsimshian cultures. Wild goose tongue, salmonberry, devil’s club and trip-wires, a needlepoint
Gaelic promise ringed with thistles, a pathetic secret, the terrifying sound of a bear popping his
teeth and the silvery, sibilant sound of a claymore. I couldn’t quit turning the pages the first time,
now I’m going to read it all over again and savor it.”

“It's got action, it's got romance, it's got integrity... McKie Campbell has written a thriller that'll
have you turning pages late into the night! Clean Slate is great American crime fiction with the
rough seduction of a James Bond film set in Alaska. It's fast paced, original, full of excitement
and energy. It's also a damned good love story.”

“McKie Campbell’s "Clean Slate" is a perfect example of all that can go well when a writer chooses to write about what he knows best. In this case Campbell is well-versed in many topics and he makes them an integral part of his story. He knows about Alaska, boats, fishing, and even how to set a nice table. This makes for an interesting and fun book... one that is also informative and suspenseful. Highly recommended.”

“"Clean Slate" is a well written mystery with strong characters, an intriguing plot and rich Alaskan description. McKie Campbell's love for the Alaskan frontier is evident as he artfully describes its unique beauty, wildness and fishing industry while gradually unraveling a compelling story with psychological and plot twists and turns and a surprising conclusion...highly recommended.”

“I read a lot of adventure thrillers. This one grabbed me right off. I did a little research and found that Mr. Campbell had been the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. That lent an aura of authority about the physical locations and descriptions. The main two characters come across as real people acting under a lot of pressure. The villains are properly villainous. The story moves right along and ends all too quickly.
Very good read from a promising newcomer with a lot more books in him, I hope!”

“Courtesy of Mr. Campbell I have just spent a wonderful two days in Alaska! Though it seemed decades. There were murders, drugs, mysteries, life experiences, romances, marriage, travel and scenery. Not to mention flora and fauna and landscape and scenery, some totally new to me. Clean Slate totally consumed me upon picking it up. Isn’t that what we treasure in a good book? Whether your reading pace is avalanche speed or glacial, you will enjoy this Alaskan adventure. Your only regret will be having to wait until Spring 2021 for his next entry. It’s a must read.”

“A terrific book that serves as both a great look at the real Alaska and a real page turner. Filled
with memorable characters and vivid descriptions of Alaska, this is a must read for anyone who
enjoys a great story in a unique setting.”

“Campbell's adventuresome novel, Clean Slate, is a breath of fresh Alaskan air. It is a straight up
thriller set in the totally realistic SE Alaska (I know because I live here!). While not overly

twisty-turny, there are a few great surprises and a handful of utterly suspenseful scenes that will
keep you on the edge of your chair. The lovers and their dog steal the show, however. I will miss
them!”

“Fantastic Alaskan adventure I couldn’t put down!”

“Clean Slate is a great adventure story. I couldn't put it down. There is excitement on every page.
I live in Juneau and can state that every location mentioned is an authentic place. I could follow
Pete and Annie wherever they were in town. I started the book one day and finished it the next
day. I wanted to keep reading and was excited to find that there is another gripper on the way.”
