Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Winner of the Costa First Novel Award, this is an extraordinary debut, a panoramic epic combining murder mystery, adventure and romance, and powerfully evoking the harsh environment of an isolated settlement in Canada, 1867. Exhilarating in its scope and quality.

Publisher's description:

It is 1867, Canada: as winter tightens its grip on the isolated settlement of Dove River, a man is murdered and a 17-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. But do they want to solve the crime or exploit it?
