| 520 | _a"Never Fire First: A Canadian Northwest Mounted Story" by James French Dorrance is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Constable La Marr of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who is involved in the investigation of a murder within an Arctic community, unraveling themes of justice, duty, and the complex relationships between Indigenous peoples and colonial authorities. Throughout his journey, La Marr grapples with the challenges posed by the harsh environment, as well as the cultural barriers that complicate his role as a lawman. The opening of the book introduces Constable La Marr, who has just survived a blizzard while in pursuit of a murder suspect. He is initially dismayed to learn that he mistakenly arrested an innocent Eskimo named Olespe, instead of the real culprit Avic. The narrative immediately immerses readers in the Arctic setting, highlighting La Marr's youthfulness and determination to uphold the law amid the dangers of his surroundings. As he navigates the aftermath of his error, La Marr's circumstances become more complicated with the arrival of a woman named Moira O'Malley, who is seeking her brother Oliver, the murder victim. The stage is set for a gripping tale that intricately weaves personal and professional conflict as La Marr races to uncover the truth while dealing with the impact of Oliver's death on his sister.
