The Mad Trapper by Rudy Wiebe – Canadian Historical Fiction

The Mad Trapper by Governor General’s Award-winning author Rudy Wiebe brings one of Canada’s most legendary manhunts to life in a gripping story of survival, pursuit, and mystery in the Arctic wilderness.

Known only as Albert Johnson, the stranger who became the “Mad Trapper” defied capture for nearly fifty days during the bitter winter of 1931–32. Pursued by the RCMP across hundreds of miles of frozen northern terrain, Johnson survived extreme cold, dynamite blasts, armed encounters, and a relentless manhunt. His extraordinary endurance and mysterious identity helped turn the pursuit into one of the most famous episodes in Canadian law-enforcement history.

Wiebe transforms the historical events into a compelling account of determination, isolation, and survival in Canada’s unforgiving North.

Perfect for readers of Canadian history, true-crime-inspired fiction, wilderness survival, and Canadiana. One copy available — add The Mad Trapper to your cart today before it’s gone.
