À propos de la quatrième de couverture

1867, Canada.
As winter tightens its grip on the isolated settlement of Dove River, a woman steels herself for the journey of a lifetime. A man has been brutally murdered and her seventeen-year-old son has disappeared. The violence has re-opened old wounds and inflamed deep-running tensions in the frontier township - some want to solve the crime; others seek only to exploit it.
To clear her son's name, she has no choice but to follow the tracks leaving the dead man's cabin and head north into the forest and the desolate landscape that lies beyond it…
“a remarkable literary debut … brilliantly assured, subtly written.” Scotsman
“a fascinating, suspense-filled adventure.” Sunday Telegraph
“a suspenseful epic, offering a leitmotif of constant unease … impressive.” Guardian
