Product Description
During a wild, whitewater paddle down a wilderness river, Meg Harris discovers the skull and bones of a woman whose very existence takes the archeological world by storm. But her neighbours, the Migiskan Algonquin quickly declare their rights to the ancient remains. In this book R.J. Harlick explores the controversy surrounding ancient human remains. Who owns them, the museums that house the archeological finds or the First Nations descendents? Meg becomes embroiled in a fight that pits ancient beliefs against modern ones and can only lead to murder. As Meg races to catch the killer, she finds herself daring the river's rapids yet again, but this time there is the added horror of a raging forest fire.
About the Author
R.J. Harlick is an escapee from the high tech jungle of Toronto. She and her husband now divide their time between her home in Ottawa and a log cabin in West Quebec. A lover of the outdoors, she can often be found roaming the surrounding forests or canoeing the waterways. Because of this love for the untamed wilds, she decided that she would bring its seductive allure alive in her writings. Her novels, which are gripping murder mysteries, blend native spirituality and a critique of how modern culture continues to encroach on paradise.
