The Tenderness of Wolves

Second Hand

Excellent Condition

"1867, Canada: as winter tightens its grip on the isolated settlement of Dove
River, a man is brutally murdered and a seventeen year old boy disappears.

Tracks leaving the dead man's cabin head north towards the forest and the
tundra beyond. In the wake of such violence, people are drawn to the township -
journalists, Hudson Bay Company men, trappers, traders - but do they want to
solve the crime, or exploit it?

In this stunning debut, Stef Penney deftly weaves adventure, suspense, revelation and subtle humour to create a book that is at once an exhilarating thriller, a panoramic novel, a study of the human condition and a keen murder mystery."
