It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, mad trapper's world,
By Nate Hendley (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mad Trapper: The Incredible Tale of a Famous Canadian Manhunt (Paperback)
A tense, terse account of one of the strangest manhunts in Canadian history, set in some of the most difficult terrain imaginable. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Knuckle-gripping action in a white, Arctic hell. The story unfolds with cinematic clarity; you can practically see the frozen breath of the dog sled teams as the police pursue their elusive quarry. A recommended read for true-crime fans.
