James is terminally ill when he confesses to a murder.

Unfortunately, nobody believes him, including Marette, a woman who mysteriously arrived weeks earlier.

This mystery is filled with suspense, action and romance in the Great White North where The Valley of Silent Men is hidden.

American author James Oliver Curwood (1878 -1927) wrote action-adventure novels and his bestsellers were among the most read books in America in the 1900s.

More than a dozen Hollywood films have been based on his frontier novels including "The Bear."
