☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn Inspector and his Constable pursue a criminal named Johnson across the Yukon wilderness using an airplane and dog sled, attempting to capture him before he can ambush them. The story involves a chase through deep snow where Johnson is described as "tricky" and compared to a "human wolverine," with the Mounties coordinating to surround and apprehend him. A woman named Rose, described as "the best gal in the whole Northland," becomes involved in the conflict when Baptiste, a poacher, attempts to force her to sign a death warrant for the Inspector, threatening violence against her and her sister.
When a trapper named Johnson begins robbing Eskimo traplines across the Western Arctic, Grey Elk brings word to Inspector Eames, setting the Mounted Police on the trail of a cunning and ruthless fugitive. Johnson's fortified cabin and desperate willingness to fight force the Mounties to match wits with a man as dangerous as he is determined to escape, leading to a tense pursuit through the frozen wilderness. With every strategy tested and supplies running low, Inspector Eames must outthink an opponent who knows the Arctic better than any law officer they've faced.
Captain "Paydirt" Pierce proves himself a crack shot and a clever strategist when a mountain lion attack introduces him to Miss Mills, whose father's mining claim has been stolen by the crooked assayer Bart Hodges. Suspecting foul play, Pierce sets a trap by salting a worthless stream with fool's gold to catch Hodges and his partner Swipsey red-handed. This 1948 tale from Northwest Mounties delivers frontier justice with a satisfying twist, revealing that Pierce is actually a Mountie working undercover to stop the claim-jumping scheme.
In the turbulent gold-rush town of Goldrush Junction, Annie and her partners Jake and Ben devise a scheme to locate a hermit's hidden mine—but their carefully laid plans unravel when greed and deception turn allies into enemies on a remote, dangerous island. The hermit proves far more cunning than they bargained for, and the race for fortune becomes a deadly game where trust is the rarest commodity of all.
