"Lucas Donovan, Canadian North-West Mounted Police constable, is on a mission to bring a ruthless serial killer to justice. Jack Emerson has eluded capture for years in the Canadian wilderness, but Donovan vows that nothing will stop him from seeing the man caught and punished. The oath is personal and professional--because one of them en Emerson killed was Lucas' twin brother. Donovan, believing he knows Emerson better than anyone but restricted by policies of the force, decides to take administrative leave to carry out his quest for revenge. Accompanied by Red, his enormous Malamute sled dog, Donovan sets out to cross the border into the United States. Besides the dangers of chasing a murderer, man and dog must also survive in unfamiliar territory where nature takes a toll on all. Before the men meet, Lucas Donovan must choose between personal and professional honor. Will he follow his oath as a Canadian Mounted Police Constable to enforce and obey the law? Or will he satisfy his burning desire for revenge? The decision could result in disgrace--or death. But Donovan is also led by the creed of the force: that a Mountie always gets his man." --page [4] of cover.
