About this book
James Oliver Curwood's The Golden Snare weaves a haunting tale of pursuit and mystery across the frozen Canadian wilderness. When Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer Philip Raine takes on the manhunt for Bram Johnson—a dangerous fugitive wanted for murder who roams the barren lands with a pack of wolves as his companions—he uncovers a far deeper enigma than a simple criminal case. The most puzzling clue is a delicate golden snare fashioned from a woman's hair, left behind by the savage quarry. What connection could possibly exist between this half-wild murderer and a woman of such refinement and beauty? As Raine pursues his elusive prey through treacherous terrain, he becomes consumed by the mystery surrounding Bram, his wolf pack, and the golden snare itself.
This frontier adventure from the author of Kazan and The Grizzly King masterfully blends action, romance, and psychological complexity. Curwood's exploration of civilization versus nature reaches its peak as readers discover that Bram's story stretches back generations, shaped by the unforgiving north. Perfect for fans of classic adventure fiction and those captivated by tales of the Canadian frontier, The Golden Snare delivers suspense, intrigue, and the eternal question of redemption in the wilderness.
