This is a novel about La Marr, a cop. It is a thriller that details how La Marr employs his skills as an Artic cop in pursuit of a murder suspect.
Excerpt: «From the „dig-in“ of the snowbank where he had spent the blizzard night in comparative comfort, Constable La Marr of the Royal Mounted looked out upon a full-grown day. The storm that had driven him to shelter had passed, or at least was taking a rest. For once he had overslept and where days, even in winter's youth, are but seven hours long, the fault caused his chagrin. That a „Mountie“ in close pursuit of a murder suspect should have made such a slip was disconcerting even to one so young as La Marr. {…..} La Marr stamped out of the snow-hole that had sheltered him and restored circulation by vigorous gymnastics. Light as was his trail equipment, being without sled or dogs, he had not suffered, having learned rapidly the first protective measures of the Arctic „cop.“ He was about to make a belated breakfast from his emergency pack when his glance chanced toward the north and focused upon a furred figure headed down the snow ruff on a course that would bring him within easy reach.»
