John Prescott Heald

4.9/5 (22628 ratings)

Description:Hard on the winter-bound border between Maine and Canada, the Aroostook Band of Mi’kmaqs abides in their self-segregated community. Tribesman John Paul Theriault, dog sled musher and lone wolf, wants nothing to do with this sad tribe, nor, for that matter, with the life path pushed upon him by mother and sweetheart, for all of John Paul’s energy is devoted to his dog team and winning the Crown of Maine race. John Paul finances this grand ambition by mushing contraband cigarettes on old Indian trails and across the frozen Saint John River into Canada. It is the life bequeathed from his father, a smuggler too, who a generation ago on a spring night pushed it one time too many, disappeared through breaking ice, and has been presumed dead ever since.While he works his team, John Paul also works up a powerful resentment against ATF agent Nick Bergeron, his mother’s lover and a man paid to stop smugglers like John Paul. Haunted by what he knows about the night John Paul’s father disappeared, Bergeron worries about his own son, drinks too much, and out of loyalty to John Paul's mother, makes sure his stakeouts don’t cross her son’s path. Which is just as well, since John Paul is soon smuggling cargo more lucrative than cigarettes: people. People with an agenda of their own.Then a strange Indian from the far north moves into a riverside shack. Shortly thereafter a young boy is found murdered on the ice. Suspicion falls upon the Indian. Another suspicion falls too: John Paul wonders if this intruder might somehow be his lost father. When police arrive to arrest the Indian, John Paul abets an escape across the river. But even as the Indian flees north, the Mounties catch up with John Paul. He pleads treaty-given rights of free passage, but the Canadian authorities have other ideas.John Paul languishes in jail and Bergeron’s life skids into crisis. He’s losing his job, he just got divorce service from his wife, and his son is in trouble. His agency has rookies handling the case of a local drug dealer, but Bergeron suspects the case is a lot more complex than his boss seems to think, especially after the drug dealer is tortured to death.All the elements collide when a powerful magnetic storm lights up the night sky, exposing a truth that dark forest and desperate men have long kept shrouded.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
