The Tenderness of Wolves is a must-read historical epic, weaving adventure, suspense and humour into an exhilarating thriller, a panoramic romance and ultimately, one of the books of the last ten years. But where survival depends on cooperation, their fragile truce cannot afford to be broken, nor their overriding purpose - to find justice for a murdered man - forgotten. One is seeking long-lost daughters another a fortune in stolen furs yet another is chasing rumours of a lost Native American culture. As the party pushes further from civilisation, hidden purposes and old obsessions are revealed. Tracking him is what passes for the law in this frontier land: trappers, sheriffs, traders and the suspect's own mother, desperate to clear his name. A young murder suspect flees across the snowy wilderness. 'A tense and delicately written thriller' ObserverĬanada, 1867.
