EXCITING CANADIAN WESTCOAST ADVENTURE

Killer Gold tells the story of Bedard, who is hired by Queen Victoria to track down and deal with criminals preying on those working in the Lower Fraser River gold rush on Canada's west coast in 1858. Together with his family—a team of four highly trained dogs—he travels the wilderness, tracking down leads and working closely with local indigenous communities as their lifestyle and lands are threatened by the influx of twenty to thirty thousand gold miners.

Bedard—or Copco as he wishes to be known in this adventure—is adopted into a small Musqueam Village near the mouth of the Fraser River. I hope that you enjoy the story.
