"Swathed in dark forest and glittering lakes, where the lonely call of the loon echoes in the hills, a century ago the Kootenays were alive with the sounds of industry. Arriving by paddlewheel steamer prospectors, loggers and all others looking to make their fortune, set off into the bush. They opened a mine and built wooden houses, jetties, track ways, saloons and hotels. When champagne was more plentiful than water, tragedy struck. A Lonely Place of Shadows reveals the vibrant life still apparent a century later as the townspeople cling on to their rivalries, jealousy, love affairs, and motives of revenge. When a modern group of scientists and historians discover that the town still exists, they want to map and study it. They aren’t prepared for the evil that still inhabits the buildings, the streets and the surrounding waters. Can they survive when others hadn't?"-- Amazon.ca website.
