Produktbeschreibung
The law-breakers is a novel set on the Canadian prairie during a time marked by widespread smuggling and the fragile authority of law enforcement. The story focuses on a determined officer whose pursuit of justice unfolds amid rising tensions between lawmen and outlaws. The opening scene captures a sweltering afternoon on a remote train platform, where a freight car rumored to be transporting illicit cargo is expected. The officer s interactions with a local railway agent reveal both the practical difficulties of patrolling the area and the dry wit with which residents respond to constant uncertainty. As the narrative develops, the plot introduces plans for a bold heist, underscoring the constant danger and strategic cunning on both sides of the law. The novel explores the emotional and moral weight of duty, the blurred lines between legality and necessity, and the harsh demands of survival in an untamed region. Through suspenseful encounters and rugged landscape descriptions, the novel delves into the conflict between order and chaos, making the terrain itself a participant in the unfolding struggle.
Autorenporträt
Ridgwell Cullum was a British author known for his prolific output of adventure novels, often set in the sparsely populated regions of the United States and Canada. Born in London on August 13, 1867, Cullum developed a deep interest in frontier life and wilderness landscapes, which greatly influenced his literary works. His writing career spanned over 30 years, during which he created numerous novels that captured the spirit of adventure, exploration, and the challenges faced by people in remote and often harsh environments. Cullum's works were popular for their vivid descriptions of the landscapes and the characters that inhabited them, with many stories focusing on themes of survival, conflict, and personal growth. He passed away on November 3, 1943, in Newton Abbot, United Kingdom, leaving behind a legacy of adventure fiction that continues to be appreciated by readers of the genre. Cullum's parents were also from London, and while not much is known about his family background, his writing reflects a keen understanding of both human nature and the vast, untamed lands that he portrayed in his books.
