Description
James Oliver Curwood opens in the far north, where Mounted Police officer Conniston and outlaw Keith look strikingly alike in face and build. That resemblance breeds a strange confidence between hunter and hunted and tempts Conniston toward betraying his oath.
For twenty-seven months Conniston has pursued Keith under orders to return with his man dead or alive. Now illness strikes in camp: a racking cough, blood on the lips, and Keith supporting the lawman's shoulders without a word. Pursuit turns into dependence at once, and Curwood builds his tale on that reversal.
