The Chinook
By Pierce, Frank Richardson
In the rain-soaked forests of the Pacific Northwest, Forest Service ranger Dan Todd stumbles upon a golden slipper—and a murder. When a mysterious woman flees the scene, Todd is drawn into a deadly timber war between unscrupulous lumber barons and a defiant heiress fighting for her legacy. As danger closes in, loyalty and survival collide in a gripping tale of justice, betrayal, and the wild beauty of the untamed woods.
