Publisher's summary

A mystery thriller novel set in the remote northern Rockies during the late 19th century.

In the rugged wilderness of the northern Rockies, Corporal David Dexter of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police embarks on what he believes to be a routine patrol. The discovery of his fellow officer, Constable Tommy Graves, brutally murdered, sets off a chain of events that plunges Dexter into a web of deceit, danger, and secrecy.

Determined to find his comrade's killer, Dexter explores the clues left behind, including a photograph of the notorious criminal "Pink" Crill. His investigation leads him to a trapper named Mudgett and his partner Jess, who are soon apprehended. As he delves deeper, Dexter uncovers an intricate plot involving a clandestine telephone network established by an anonymous criminal syndicate. This system, covertly set up using archaic telegraph cables, facilitates communication among the criminals across the untamed wilderness that Dexter must navigate.

The mystery thickens as Dexter identifies more suspects, including the elusive Norbert Croix and the enigmatic Mrs. Stark, who had been masquerading as a man. Dexter's dedication to unraveling the truth faces additional obstacles from his growing feelings for Alison, a young woman wrongfully accused of murder alongside her brother Archie. The investigation reaches a dramatic conclusion with the revelation that Dr. Borden, now confined to an asylum, is the true murderer. As Dexter races against time to save Alison and expose the criminal network, he must reconcile his duty with his heart.

Dexter's perseverance brings him face-to-face with the network's masterminds in a climactic showdown. As justice prevails, he earns recognition and promotion, while Alison and Archie are exonerated. With a newfound sense of purpose, Dexter decides to leave the police force and build a future with Alison, marking a hopeful new beginning.
