Isobel : a Romance of the Northern Trail
James Oliver Curwood
Book Overview:
Action, intrigue, and a touch of romance in the farthest reaches of northern Canada. Sergeant Billy MacVeigh of the Canadian Northwest Mounted, with his only partner Pelliter are the only official representatives in the lonely and desolate reaches of Point Fullerton, hundreds of miles from the next nearest outpost, and from any civilization. Both are nearing the end of their service in those regions, and their main function has been to try to find the elusive murderer Scottie Deane, and if they happen upon anybody trading in Eskimo women to haul them in also.

Apr 9, 830pm ~~ Isobel is the next (and the last) title on my James Oliver Curwood challenge list. Next because I was reading in publication order, and last because I could not finish this book and have given up on friend

Part of his job is tracking a murderer, and when he finds that man he also finds complications that chase him fo
Bumped up to five stars for emotional enjoyment.
