It is 1977, and a spring hiker on Canada’s Cape Breton Island has discovered a strange-looking installation hidden in the forest, on an oceanside cliff. Word of her discovery makes its circuitous way to military intelligence and the RCMP Security Service, where it sets off alarm bells, and Constable Alex Houston and her dog Silver are sent in. They are a unique team since few people know that Alex is the first woman Mountie and Silver, an Alaskan Malamute, looks nothing like a police dog. As they investigate, a technological curiosity from the Second World War turns out to be the centrepiece of something very current, and sinister. As Alex and Silver investigate, this time they will need to be … indestructible.

“An Inexorable Mountie… is another strong novel from author Laurie Schramm… The focus and growth of Alex Houston's character continues to evolve and… [e]ach adventure puts the reader in the middle of the action… The writer's background allows him a special insight into police procedure, which not all are able to master. His ability to get into the mind and thoughts of his characters is uncanny, very well done. I look forward to reading all the Alex Houston novels, as, being a retired female RCMP officer, I see a bit of myself in every story that is told.“ Cst. Karen Frost, RCMP (Rtd.), from her review in The RCMP Quarterly, 2023, 88(1), p. 78. “

I have read the first seven Mountie novels by Laurie Schramm. As a collector of Mountie books over 60 years, Laurie is now my favorite Mountie author. I can't wait for number eight and beyond.” Staff Sergeant Al Lund, RCMP (Ret'd); author of “Mounties on the Cover”

“An Inconvenient Mountie and An Inconspicuous Mountie are great reads! They are very well written, and very engaging, with lots of interesting details that I found particularly engaging.” Assistant Commissioner Dawson Hovey, RCMP (Ret’d.)

“Anyone who enjoys a moving story with an intriguing plot should read these books. I would recommend serving and retired Members [of the RCMP] to read them, as it will rekindle memories of friendships and camaraderie that have been eroded with the passage of time.” Chief Superintendent William Schramm, RCMP (Ret’d.)
