The Dead Horse Trail is the gripping first novel in the Grant of the NWMP Chronicles. Set against the raw, unforgiving landscape of the Yukon during the peak of the Klondike Gold Rush, Constable Stephen Grant is a determined and principled member of the North West Mounted Police (NWMP). Stationed at a remote outpost on the edge of the frontier, he works amidst the chaos and lawlessness of this gold rush wilderness. Grant's life takes a dangerous turn when he's ambushed and taken hostage by a ruthless gang of criminals.
The gang, recently returned from a daring gold heist in Dawson City, is holed up in a hidden refuge, waiting for their comrades to return with the stolen fortune. As tensions rise within the gang, their plans unfold to rob the NWMP post at White Pass before they make the perilous journey down the infamous Dead Horse Trail: a route notorious for its treacherous conditions and deadly history.
Grant, held captive and facing the grim prospect of being silenced by the criminals, finds himself in a deadly standoff where the odds are stacked against him. With the gang's plans growing bolder by the minute, the Constable must escape his captors, using his wits and resourcefulness to survive. As Grant struggles to survive, his ability to play the gang against each other while navigating the brutal and unforgiving terrain could seal his fate.
With his life, and the future of justice in the frontier, hanging in the balance, Grant must find a way to stop the criminals before they escape with the loot and into the wilderness of Alaska, where the reach of the Mounties may not be able to follow. In The Dead Horse Trail, the stakes are as high as the snow-covered mountains that surround Grant, and every moment brings him closer to a deadly confrontation where only one side can prevail.
This thrilling debut in the Grant Chronicles blends heart-pounding action with a deep sense of history, setting the stage for a saga that will take readers on a journey through the untamed Canadian frontier, where the rule of law is often the hardest thing to uphold.
