Description
Conservation Officer Rob McNabb teams up with Samantha Williams, a government bush pilot in an attempt to bring a murderous polar bear poacher to justice in the midst of a harsh northern winter. The story is set in the remote Hudson and James Bay Lowland region of northeastern Ontario. Action, suspense and a string of extreme challenges make for slim odds of success for the pair, let alone their survival. And a budding romance hangs in the balance. While the setting is regional, the message is global.

Person
David G. Ferguson is a retired Ontario Conservation Officer (AKA Game Warden) who invested his career with the Ministry of Natural Resources working in three diverse regions of the province. He spent three of those years in what was then the Moosonee district, a vast unique region encompassing 95 thousand square miles of the James and Hudson Bay Lowland. This is Ontario's arctic frontier and home to the James Bay Cree. The world's most southerly population of polar bears also lives here. Having met thousands of people during his career, ranging from perfectly law abiding folks to dangerous criminals you wouldn't want to turn your back on, he retired with a wealth of experience in human behavior in a variety of geographic locations ... experiences that could be woven into characters and places in some exciting fictional adventure stories. This book is his second. Dave lives with his wife Pat in northern Ontario, and when they are not on the road touring the continent, he can be found out on the lake in the summer, or feeding the wood stove in the cooler seasons while conjuring up his next story.
