About

With her husband under arrest for murder and Meg desperate to prove his innocence, she flies to Yellowknife, where a tangled web of family secrets and greed awaits her. Meg Harris is forced to leave the sanctuary of Three Deer Point and fly to Yellowknife, where her stepdaughter lies near death and her husband is in jail for killing a man. Expecting to find Eric shouting his innocence, she instead finds him cowed and willing to do hard time. But Meg doesn't believe he's guilty. Convinced that there's more to the murder victim - and the attack on her stepdaughter - than the police think, Meg finds herself on a sordid trail of family secrets and greed, hoping she can prove her husband's innocence. Fragments of an ancient embroidery lead her to a remote Dene hunting camp, where all is not what it seems.

"A great read. Vivid characters, an intriguing mystery, and a moving glimpse into the rich culture and fragile beauty of the north."
Barbara Fradkin, author of Inspector Green Mysteries
