Sinopsis

In "The Glacier Gate," Frank Lillie Pollock masterfully merges natural history with adventure, crafting a compelling narrative that explores the majestic wilderness of the American Rockies. Pollock's prose is rich in vivid imagery and sensory detail, evoking the awe-inspiring landscapes and the delicate interplay of human and nature. The novel unfolds within a context of burgeoning exploration in the late 19th century, reflecting a growing fascination with uncharted territories and the psychological depths of its characters, who are driven by both ambition and existential curiosity. Pollock, a noted geologist and naturalist, draws upon his extensive experiences in the field to breathe authenticity into his storytelling. His scientific background informs the intricate descriptions of glacial formations and ecological systems, allowing readers to perceive the natural world through both an artistic and analytical lens. This acute awareness of nature's grandeur and peril informs Pollock'Äôs narrative, as he vividly illustrates the conflicts inherent in man's desire to conquer the untamed. Readers drawn to nature writing, adventure tales, and profound meditations on humanity's relationship with the environment will find "The Glacier Gate" an engrossing and enlightening experience. Pollock's deft storytelling and insightful observations make this work not merely a novel, but an invitation to engage with the wilderness in all its sublime complexity.

    And so the three friends step away from their slices of cake to investigate. 
    As the trio delve into the village’s secrets, they uncover more than they bargained for – angry residents with old grudges and the echoes of a damning report that ruined lives all those years ago… 
    Can these unlikely sleuths untangle the web of lies and uncover the truth before anybody else dies?

    Officer Randy Spelling has always wanted to be a cop. The eager rookie comes from a law enforcement family and, at least as far as police department psychologist Dr. Dot Meyerhoff is concerned, the young woman is up to the challenge. But when Officer Spelling mistakenly shoots and kills a pregnant teen, the community is outraged, and the family of the victim demands justice. Feeling protective of the traumatized cop in her care, Dot tries to stop Officer Spelling from her desperate attempts to apologize to the girl's family. But Dot's efforts fail, with catastrophic results. Now Dot is taking this into her own hands, despite the police chief demanding that she back off. For Dot, this case feels all too personal for her to walk away, even if it means being in the line of danger herself.
