<p class="book_description"><b>Shortlisted for the 2009 Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature</b></p><p class="book_description">Set in the Canadian Rockies, <i>Hooker & Brown</i> is an evocative adventure story about one man&#8217;s quest to put to rest a historical mystery. While reading a history book of the area, Rumi&#8212;a trail crewman in the Rocky Mountain Parks system&#8212;learns of two mysterious mountains, and their story is re-entered into the climber&#8217;s imagination. Excited by the idea of seeing the mountains and retracing the steps of earlier mountaineers, Rumi begins a pursuit to reach these peaks and to find out if they truly do exist.</p> <p class="book_description">Based on a true story from the Rocky Mountains and filled with exhilarating descriptions of one climber&#8217;s attempt to tackle some of the world&#8217;s greatest peaks, <i>Hooker & Brown</i> explores the effect of mystery and historical inaccuracies in our lives.</p>
