But the killer doesn't stand a chance against the Constable's friend, Roland Goulette. Roland is a local woodsman and fur-trader that visits Berlin every so often. With his help, maybe the Berlin police can solve this murder, and stop the counterfeit operation. So grab a paddle, jump in your canoe, and journey down the Androscoggin River to the City that Trees Built.
