Opis

On Haida Gwaii, Meg unravels a story of betrayal that reaches back more than a century.

While visiting Vancouver, Meg Harris encounters the crime scene of a murdered Haida carver. She and her husband Eric are forced to confront Eric's painful past when the young victim's identity is discovered. The repercussions send them up the coast to the islands of Haida Gwaii, land of the Haida, in search of the murdered boy's family and his killer. As the search progresses, a totem pole carver sets out to depict the ancient tale of a long-ago chief's treasure and how it incited deception and shame. This tragedy reaches its nasty tentacles into the present where Meg and Eric find themselves embroiled in a modern-day story of betrayal.

The murder of a young Haida carver reawakens sibling rivalries best forgotten and sends Meg Harris and her husband, Eric Odjik, to Haida Gwaii in search of the boys family and his killer. She unravels a tangle of betrayal and clan rivalries that not only reach back to when the Haida were mighty warriors, but continue to the present day.
