Red Ice for a Shroud

As winter's first snow starts to fall, a young Quebecoise sneaks off to meet her Algonquin lover in an isolated hunting camp on the Migiskan Reserve. Five days later, Meg Harris discovers her frozen and brutalized body. The young Native is charged with her murder, and Meg feels responsible, as the young woman was a member of the crew that was helping Meg to clear some cross country ski trails. Meg, convinced of the Native's innocence, sets out to find the real killer against a backdrop of police prejudice. As she scrambles to unravel the truth, the snow turns to freezing rain, locking her West Quebec wilderness within a prison of ice. The sequel to Death's Golden Whisper again visits the Canadian wilderness of Quebec where survival hinges on the strong alliances one forms with one's neighbors.
