Canada, 9 July 1928. It was a summer night in Edmonton, Alberta. The sky was still aglow with a bright and tender light as it usually is in those remote areas of the Arctic. Dr. Heaslip was about to retire to bed after a busy day. Suddenly, his phone rang loud and clear. "A terrible tragedy has occurred in the Booher farm! Please rush!" said the frantic voice on the other end.
On reaching the ranch, an incredible sight met his eyes. Without further delay, the doctor informed the police headquarters 80 miles away. It was not before long that Inspector Longacre, Detective Leslie and Constable Olson arrived. They were received by Henry Booher, the owner of the farm, his younger son Veron Booher, Charles Stevenson, a neighbour, and Dr. Heaslip.
