Surrey & Blaine: Hancock House, 1993. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Inscribed & Signed by Author. First Edition.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Frolick tells the story of Michael Oros, who, after being questioned about the murder of Gunter Lishy, a German trapper in northern British Columbia, disappeared into the wilds, where he lived alone, convinced that government agents were tracking and trying to kill him.
