When his teenage daughter goes missing on a summer wilderness canoe trip to the Nahanni River, Inspector Michael Green is forced into unfamiliar territory.

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
...combines a suspenseful story with plenty of opportunities to see the brook-no-nonsense inspector out of his natural element. -- Booklist Feb 12, 2013 Barbara Fradkin's ninth Inspector Green Mystery is a well-written page-turner with a pace as fast as the current in the famous Nahanni River... -- Publisher's Weekly The Whisper of Legends is at its best and most vivid when Fradkin is describing the grandeurs and perils of the wilderness. -- London Free Press I suspect the author may have stepped outside of her own comfort zone with The Whisper of Legends but her ability to tell a grand story and address issues of concern at the same time has not lessened since the first book of hers I read long ago. -- Buried Under Books ... Fradkin navigates the reader through every plot piece with quiet expertise and easy confidence, the kind that would get anyone out of a dangerous wilderness situation. The bar is set high for the Inspectors 10th adventure after such a terrific instalment, but theres no doubt in my mind Fradkin will clear it with room to spare. - National Post (Canada) May 2013 There is an interesting twist to the resolution of this complex tale of adventure and crime and loss. Excerpts from old letters provide an admixture of nostalgia for those possible fortunes to be discovered in forgotten claims in the Canadian wilds ...Fradkin provides us with another intriguing Inspector Green mystery far from his usual Ottawa beat. - Reviewing the Evidence.com (Canada) May 2013 Ottawa Police Inspector Michael Green has emerged as one of Canadas best and brightest fictional sleuths. Barbara Fradkin has won two Arthur Ellis Awards for Best Crime Novel and this one, her 11th in the series, is definitely one of her best. - The Globe and Mail (Canada) June 2013 I was cheering Green along as he struggled against his fears and tried his hardest to be an asset, rather than a hindrance, in an investigation that could mean the life or death of his daughter. A really great read! - Merchant of Menace: Sleuths of Bake Street Newsletter (Canada) June 2013 Fradkin deftly captures the spirit of adventure in the North, and incorporates well-integrated commentary about the areas natural resources and environmental issues. - Quill & Quire (Canada) June 2013mehr
