Set in Churchill and out in the wilderness on a tundra buggy, this haunting short novel is a tale of adventure, capturing the sights and feel of the Arctic. In it a young female nature photographer sets out on an expedition to study polar bears with three oh-so-male companions. Be warned, the book can be graphic at times, but it's a real page-turner.
