About This Book

A group of acquaintances become entangled in suspicion when one man's past is questioned, prompting an expedition into remote northern country. The narrative moves through riverboats, prairie and muskeg to frozen trails as the party confronts betrayals, ambushes, illness and a kidnapping while pursuing clues and hidden motives. Encounters with mysterious figures and harsh landscapes force endurance and practical ingenuity, and shifting alliances reveal true loyalties. Gradual unmasking of deception leads to duty being fulfilled, reconciliation among the characters, and a final pairing of romantic and moral resolution.
