"Code of the Mounted" by Floria Howe Bruess is a novel written in the early 20th century. This gripping tale unfolds in the harsh Arctic environment and centers around the characters of Sergeant Hardy and Keith Morely, who find themselves entangled in a high-stakes manhunt as they navigate their respective moral codes in a life-or-death situation. The narrative explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and the complexities of human character under pressure. The story begins with Sergeant Hardy in pursuit of the mail robber, Keith Morely, who commits his crime out of desperation to obtain a letter that jeopardizes his future with his fiancée. However, after they find shelter in a cabin amid a blizzard, Hardy succumbs to smallpox, and Morely selflessly cares for his enemy, grappling with his own criminal actions. Their roles shift as Morely attempts to escape the law while Hardy struggles with his growing appreciation for Morely's character. As the plot unfolds, the two men confront their pasts and moral obligations, leading to a tense resolution where personal loyalty conflicts with duty to the law. The novel culminates in a moment of understanding between them, revealing the power of compassion in even the most challenging circumstances. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
