"Race memories from the Arctic North seep into the badlands of Vancouver in this bold fusion of old ways and new. L.S.Nicholson's debut thriller, SEE FOX RUN, offers a shamin indictment of a society that has lost its spiritual heart. On the margins of contemporary Canada, even salvation is a cover for yet another scam. But Inuit minister, Intuko, is determined to confront the everswelling tide of greed, violence and hypocrisy. In every human being, as in
every piece of soapstone, there lies the possibility of re-connection."
Graham Hurley
author of The Take, (featuring British D/I Joe Faraday), One of the Independent on Sundays five best crime novels of 2001, Turnstone, Angels Passing and Deadlight.

 

"L.S. Nicholson has tremendous characters in See Fox Run. They really come alive. She really made me feel their pain and sadness, especially, something that is sorely lacking in a lot of what Im reading these days. And having such real characters that I care so much about makes the suspense all the more palpable."
Steve Hamilton

“See Fox Run has a cast of interesting characters and an intriguing story line. The reader finds not only a mystery to solve, but also the thought provoking question about being true to one’s self.”
Murder and Mayhem BookClub

“Intuko is a real delight, someone who can be developed along with a series, which is what Nicholson intends. I’m not sure about Melville. We’ll have to watch for the next novel to see what develops.” Globe and Mail

“Gripping and suspenseful saga.”
Mid West Book Review

“See Fox Run by Calgary’s Lorna Schultz Nicholson is an entertaining thriller with hints of romance. Nicholson has a keen sense of detail in her writing; there is much to be learned about the characters by their behaviours. And while See Fox Run is dialogue heavy, the narrative keeps a fast pace—no characters dawdle or sleep on things in this murder mystery.”
