A major blizzard has cut off road access to Meg Harris?s isolated cabin, where she and her young Adjidamo are getting ready for Christmas. The unexpected arrival of two strange men, one of them wounded, sparks a terrifying chain of events that has Meg fighting to get herself and Adjidamo out alive.
Harlick (Arctic Blue Death) skillfully builds tension, as Meg and Jid attempt to escape, and dread about what will happen when the snowstorm abates and the last gang member arrives. The author respectfully crosses intercultural boundaries in the story and portrays fully formed Algonquin characters alongside their non-Algonquin counterparts.
R.J. Harlick?s love for Canada?s untamed wilds is the inspiration for the Meg Harris mystery series. The fourth in the series, Arctic Blue Death , was short-listed for the Arthur Ellis Award for best crime novel. R.J. Harlick lives in Ottawa.
R. J. Harlick has earned her place as the queen of Canadian wilderness fiction.
