(Grosset & Dunlap, March 15, 1961)
The adventures of Silver Chief, the brave Eskimo husky, and his master, Sergeant Peter Thorn of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, ,as they pursue an international criminal across a continent are related in this vintage story. At the urgent request of the International Criminal Police Organization, the Mounties take on the task of bringing Nick Saxon to justice. Saxon, wanted in France for the murder of a police officer, is on the Atlantic, headed for Canada and a hide-out in the Eskimo territory he once knew as a fur trapper. If he makes port, he can count on the aid of his international narcotics ring to abet his flight. Sergeant Thorne's orders are to bring him in alive, but Saxon, ruthless and knowing, eludes his pursuers on sea and on land until he has led them across Canada to the bleak Arctic tundra where he is at home and fears neither man nor dog. There, he plans to ambush his old foe and the dog he detests.
