O knihe

In the west of the 1890s, Jake's wife is raped and murdered, an image from which he attempts to escape and hide. When two thieves try to take what little he has left, Jake realizes he must face the past and solve his wife's murder to truly escape the images in his head. But to find the killer, he discovers even more surprises ...

Jake McTavish left his home in central Canada when he was in his early teens. After working ships on the Great Lakes, fishing Lake Winnipeg, feeding cattle south of Fort Garry, and shooting wolves on the prairies, he starts his own cattle operation in the foothills of the western mountains. Then he meets his life-long partner, Anna.

Jake and Anna were married three years when it all came crashing down. He came home to find his beautiful wife raped and murdered.

In an attempt to escape the vision of his butchered wife and all that he lost, Jake runs deep into the mountains, where he spends three years trapping and panning gold. When two outlaws attempt to rob him and leave him for dead, Jake finally comes out of the stupor he has lived in and begins to fight back.

First he deals with the two thugs. Next he returns to his homestead to find his wife's killer. Solving a murder after several years is no easy task, especially when it includes surprises he didn't want to find.

After a variety of work experiences, D. M. McGowan has now returned to work as a commercial driver and lives near Mile "0" of the world-famous Alaska Highway. His books bring Canadian history to life. This is his fourth published book.
