A LOADED GUN. STOLEN GOLD. And a menacing stranger. A taut frontier
survivor story, set at the time of the Alaska gold rush.
In an isolated cabin, fourteen-year-old Sig is alone with a corpse: his
father, who has fallen through the ice and frozen to death only hours
earlier. Then comes a stranger claiming that Sig's father owes him a
share of a horde of stolen gold. Sig's only protection is a loaded Colt
revolver hidden in the cabin's storeroom. The question is, will Sig use
the gun, and why?
