Din cauza acestui personaj care, paradoxal, pare mânat de intenții bune, orice situație poate fi interpretată ca amenințare. Prin urmare devenim din ce în ce mai stresați.

Why would someone kill a miner, freeze his body solid on a glacier, and then drop it alongside the Juneau wharf, the one place where United States Marshal Gordon Whitford would be sure to find it?
