James Oliver Curwood 
Golden Snare 

James Oliver Curwood was one of the highest-paid writers of his time, and many of the action-adventure scribe’s books were made into films during the early age of movie-making. The Golden Snare is a gripping tale that pits a rookie member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police against a shadowy fugitive whose preternatural ability to survive in the wild makes him a formidable opponent.
