Murder at the Muskeg Brings Wilton to the Portage
In a wintry Canadian wilderness, Joe Bostock is shot and killed during a feud over the Missatbi railway scheme. As Wilton carries Joe’s body through freezing snows toward McDonald’s Hudson’s Bay post, he endures a grievous wound and a harrowing trek, hoping to safeguard Joe’s remains from wolves and the treacherous muskeg. The killer’s identity remains uncertain as the storm rages and the two men confront betrayal, fate, and a project in peril.
