A gripping crime thriller with a twist of medical mystery!

The human brain is too wet, warm and noisy to sustain quantum activity.  Or so we thought...

Surrounded by the unforgiving climate of the frozen north, Jake Ward, a tenacious Alaska State Trooper Investigator and cancer survivor, is on a relentless quest to regain his health and return to full-duty status.

But Ward's world takes a bone-chilling turn during a routine polygraph examination when a woman escapes custody, leaving an officer critically injured. What started as an ordinary investigation transforms into a complex web of intrigue, where medical experimentation and consciousness collide.

In "Wet, Warm, and Noisy," Willson masterfully blurs the boundaries between law enforcement and science fiction, leading readers on a heart-pounding journey through a realm where the tangible and the mysterious intersect. With time slipping away, can Ward decipher the enigmas that defy reason, or will dark forces overwhelm him?

Two parts action-packed police procedural, one part crime thriller with a dash of medical sci-fi. 

Set in the Alaska, the Last Frontier, where the landscape can be your greatest enemy.

Written by a retired Alaska State Trooper, giving you an inside scoop on how things really work in Alaskan law enforcement.
