Death Wins in the Arctic: The Lost Winter Patrol of 1910
A four-man patrol from the North West Mounted Police left Fort McPherson, Northwest Territories, heading for Dawson City, Yukon, on December 21, 1910. The harrowing drama of their futile 52-day struggle to survive is an account of courageous failure, one that resonates in its depiction of human intelligence pitted against the forces of nature.

Kerry Karram uses the handwritten diary of Inspector F.J. Fitzgerald to chronicle the harrowing ordeal of four NWMP officers lost in the Yukon wilderness for 52 days during the winter of 1910-11. Death Wins in the Arctic reflects her deep interest in Canadian history and her love for the North. Her first book is Four Degrees Celsius. Kerry lives in North Vancouver.
