About This Book

A trapper traverses a bitter, snowbound landscape with an ailing companion and a sled loaded with valuable furs; as the storm deepens and isolation tightens, he resolves to slow their progress so the sick man will succumb to exposure, picturing the riches and comforts that would follow. The narrative follows his cold-blooded calculation and the practical delays he engineers, showing how greed warps moral judgment while the harsh terrain and the companion's failing condition amplify tension between survival, avarice, and conscience.
