"The Making of Jake McTavish"
Paying the price for rape and murder Jake's wife is raped and murdered. A lazy Mountie accuses Jake of the crimes. Angry, in shock and trying to erase the vision of his wife's body, Jake runs into the mountains.
But running away did not erase the vision. Hiding alone and the passage of time did not decrease - and may have increased - his anger. When two renegades try to kill him and steal his furs Jake realizes that he needs to face the vision from the past. To erase it he needs to hunt it down, find out who killed her and see they pay. Solving a murder after several years is no easy task, especially when it includes surprises he didn't want to find.
First, he has to survive.
From the same vault that holds the work of William Johnstone, Matt Braun, Max Brand, and Louis L'Amour. Jake McTavish left his home in central Canada when he was in his early teens. After working ships on the Great Lakes, fishing Lake Winnipeg, feeding cattle south of Fort Garry, and shooting wolves on the prairies, he starts his own cattle operation in the foothills of the western mountains. Then he meets his life-long partner, Anna. Jake and Anna were married three years when it all came crashing down. He came home to find his beautiful wife raped and murdered. In an attempt to escape the vision of his butchered wife and all that he lost, Jake runs deep into the mountains, where he spends three years trapping and panning gold. When two outlaws attempt to rob him and leave him for dead, Jake finally comes out of the stupor he has lived in and begins to fight back. First he deals with the two thugs. Next, he returns to his homestead to find his wife's killer. Solving a murder after several years is no easy task, especially when it includes surprises he didn't want to find.
