With but two years of service in the RNMP Philip Raine finds himself somewhat unwillingly on the trail of Bram Johnson, wanted for murder and a wild, untamed and savage man who commands a pack of wolves as his brethren.
But most peculiar of all is the snare which Bram had had in his possession and had somehow lost. It was a golden snare intricately woven out of the finest, most delicate flaxen hair of a woman. But what could possibly be the relationship between this half-human murderer and a woman who could have borne a crown of such beauty and elegance? The mystery of Bram Johnson and his wolves and the golden snare becomes one which Raine feels compelled to unravel even as he pursues the wild man and his pack among his own territory of the Canadian barren lands.

I think the author is more talented than most I've come across on librivox and I enjoyed the book. However, be forewarned that he has a fetish with women's hair and some distributing preferences. His characters are always men in their mid to late 30s who fall in love with a young woman around 20. He thrills in calling her "little girl", in having complete possession of her (because her life is in danger and only he can save her, so he considers that sufficient reason to own her soul and body). He repeatedly gets an erotic high off of her total surrender and obedience. And, of course, they always fall in love while barely knowing the first thing about each other (other than that she's gorgeous, dependent, and still a "girl"). Wouldn't want to meet him in real life (or have him date my daughter), but he does know how to write an interesting plot with fleshed-out characters.

My first experience with Curwood, and it was most enjoyable. The story was first rate, with lucid descritions, but no wasted words. The reading of Mr. Melin was a definite plus; thank you.
