From the 60th Parallel to the North Pole across the tundra and the Barren Lands, the Far North has beckoned the brave, the foolhardy, and the curious. The mystery of the Land of the Midnight Sun has fascinated poets and writers, painters and sculptors, no less than scientists and explorers. In this anthology, a spectrum of Canadian writers explore in their imaginations crime and malfeasance and thrilling danger under the flickering Northern Lights. Come mushing down these secret trails with John Ballem, John Buchan, Rose De Shaw, Carol Newhouse, Marjorie Pickthall, James Powell, Peter Sellers, Robert W. Service, and Eric Wright, as they probe the wilderness of human evil in this entertaining melange of short stories old and new. From the paleolithic to high-tech oil drilling, the enduring saga of crime and punishment is told by these talented story-spinners in these tales of detection, mystery, and adventure.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. David Skene-Melvin is the dean of anthologizers of Canadian criminous short fiction and has previously edited \u003ci\u003eCrime in a Cold Climate: An Anthology of Classic Canadian Crime\u003c\/i\u003e (Simon \u0026amp; Pierre\/Dundurn, 1994); \u003ci\u003eInvestigating Women: Female Detectives by Canadian Writers An Eclectic Sampler\u003c\/i\u003e (Simon \u0026amp; Pierre\/Dundurn, 1995); and \u003ci\u003eBloody York: Tales of Mayhem, Murder and Mystery in Toronto past, present and future\u003c\/i\u003e, (Simon \u0026amp; Pierre\/Dundurn, 1996).
