A white moose, seen as a spirit animal by the Cree is shot. The hunters are murdered, then the hunting lodges burned to the ground. A group calling themselves the White Moose Clan has declared war on Canada and Spruce Bay is caught in the middle. Jim and Leigh struggle with escalating tensions between groups in town as events spiral out of control.

It didn't make any sense. Nothing had been taken. All the machinery was accounted for. Jim had Dusty with him and as far as the guide could tell everything was there. Dusty found something else odd as well. While he checked the buildings, he'd found a track leading to the woods. He showed Jim.


"Right there." Dusty pointed at a spot on the ground. "Someone stood and watched the fire before walking away. I could follow the trail a little way, but I lost it when he crossed some rock".
