Thomas Allen, Toronto, 1958.  Hard cover, 157 pages.  Very good plus; red pebbled cloth with black rules and lettering on front, black lettering on spine; binding sound.  Dust jacket has some edge and light cover wear, a few tiny tears; some sunning on rear panel and old damp stain at lower edge near spine.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages.  ‘An RCMP rookie, Constable Dale Thompson, just fresh out of training at Regina and Rockcliffe police schools, is caught up in a manhunt through western Canada.  He’s on the trail of an oil well worker who has committed a crime in the famed Alberta Leduc oilfields.’ (from front flap)
