A Cold White Fear (27 page)

with all my books, I couldn't have written
A Cold White Fear
without the tremendous support of others. I'd like to thank Stephen McGregor, Guy Petit-Clair, and Chris Manning for the time they spent answering my many questions. I mustn't forget the Internet. Where would we authors be without the myriad websites that help expand our knowledge?

The critical eyes of Vicki Delany and Barbara Fradkin once again proved invaluable. Thanks, ladies.

I'd also like to thank my editors Allister Thompson and Carrie Gleason and my publisher Dundurn for making this book happen.

Finally a special thanks to my husband, Jim, for his enduring and patient support. He has helped to make this writing adventure so much easier.

Silver Totem of Shame

The murder of a young Haida carver reawakens sibling rivalries best forgotten and sends Meg Harris and her husband to Haida Gwaii in search of the 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. Meg 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.
