A FICTION HOUSE PRESS FACSIMILE REPRINT: Returning to the settlement of Lac L'Outre after a prospecting trip, Alan Laramie is arrested by the Northwest Mounted Police on a charge of murdering Seth Gridley. The murder weapon, together with a rich pile of furs, is found in Alan's canoe. Alan's protest that a stranger had asked him to deliver the furs downriver - and that the weapon was obviously planted - is believed only by Joan Hastings at the trading post. When lynch talk is in the air, Joan helps Alan escape from jail. Then follows a perilous flight through the wilderness in this memorable and gripping novel of an exciting manhunt in the Canadian Northwest.
