Cold Blows the Tundra Wind

COLD BLOWS THE TUNDRA WIND - A contemporary crime story set against the backdrop of the Alaska wilderness in the tradition of Jack London and James Oliver Curwood. Just as hunting season is about to start, Master Guide John Forester goes up against outlaw guide and poacher Dirk Benedict, and an Alaskan Wildlife Trooper on the take only to find himself behind bars when they set him up. With Forester out of the way and the trooper in his pocket, Benedict has free run to conduct his business while John's wife and 18-year-old son Lee face financial ruin and fears for John's long-term imprisonment. While Lee, an Assistant Guide who cannot legally guide alone, works to hold everything together, Parker Raines, a Registered Guide and a stranger to them all, steps up to accept the job of guiding in John's absence. Teaming up with Lee, things are looking up for Johnson Creek Outfitters and the family, until Lee discovers Parker associating with Benedict, leaving him and his mother to wonder about Parker's real intentions. Did Parker work his way into the operation to serve his own illegal agenda or is there more to the mysterious guide than meets the eye?
