Publisher's summary

Book 1 of the series.

Meet the man with no name. When the snow falls, he's running.

By all appearances, Cy Ford is no more than a quiet loner living in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. He works as a conservation officer and prefers the company of his sled dogs. What nobody suspects is that Ford's past is a fractured one, and all of it, down to his name, is a lie.

During the winter months, Ford moonlights as a drug-running dog sled musher, a lucrative sideline that's allowed him to amass a small fortune. With Christmas around the corner, Ford has decided to get out of the game, but it won't be that easy. When a turf war breaks out between his Canadian employer and a Detroit-based mobster, he finds himself forced into one last run he and his team may never reach the end of.

Critic reviews

"I read every piece of fiction and non-fiction about sled dogs that I can get my hands on, and no author or poet better captures the Klondike culture—at least no one since Jack London and Robert W. Service. The poet Service was right when he wrote that strange things are done in the midnight sun. Michael Dault proves it with his exquisite novel Cold Run." (Del Jones, author of The Cremation of Sam McGee)

"A bold, unique and intriguing approach to action-adventure fiction." (Suzanne Parrott, author, publisher, speaker)

"I'm always prepared for a journey when reading Dault's work. His stories move you, tug at your heart, open your eyes in ways that life doesn't let you. A master storyteller that takes you on a ride every time, Cold Run had me captivated on every turn of the page." (Kevin Interdonato, actor/producer, City on a Hill, Sopranos, Bad Frank)
