Description
The gripping mystery of four RCMP officers who journeyed 475 miles through Canada's North on a dogsled — but then never returned. Their grisly fate has become part of Canadian folklore.
- "A harrowing tale set against a vast and unforgiving landscape. If Dick North were writing his books in the United States, they would be Hollywood blockbusters."(Will Ferguson)
About the author
Dick North (1929–2013) is the author of several books including The Mad Trapper of Rat River and The Lost Patrol. North spent twenty years as the curator of the Jack London Interpretive Centre and Museum in Dawson City and was a member of the Jack London (Yukon) Society. North was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award granted by the Yukon Historical and Museums Association in honour of his literary works in the historical field. He was also appointed as a member of the Order of Canada and honoured by the community of Dawson City, which named a street after him. He is remembered for the body of Yukon literature that he leaves behind.
