On a routine delivery, courier Jaxy Thrie must ferry a priceless item—a Fabergé guardian angel once worn by the Empress Maria Feodorovna—to a Russian heiress in British Columbia. Things get out of hand when Jaxy loses the valuable medallion. He finds himself in fast trouble with the Romanov Guild, who accuses him of theft. It falls on Jaxy to restore the national treasure to the Royal Museum while dodging bullets from a greedy band of robbers, the Mounties, and the Canadian Beaver Lodge Assassins Association.
Reviews
"Ever suspect that beneath that calm, collected, Canadian exterior dwelt a snarky killer? If you didn't, The Canadian Beaver Assassins Association proves otherwise. This sharply written comic thriller brings to mind Cory Doctorow, with offbeat characters and off-the-wall situations. Cripe's unique voice will hook you like some monster Canadian sturgeon."
—David A. Kennedy, author of RICOCHET
"Clever and witty, filled with fun and colorful characters, this adventure is a delightful page-turner. An exciting debut for Jerry Cripe!"
—Dennis K. Crosby, award-winning author of DEATH'S LEGACY
