It isn't often that you come across a poetic voice that truly reflects the history and feeling of the land and its folk-a poet of the people. -The Globe and Mail

Terry Belshaw, the unlikely hero of Peter Trower's two previous novels, Grogan's Cafe and Dead Man's Ticket, is back once again in a gripping logging adventure filled with backwoods disaster and intrigue.

When Terry Belshaw hires out to a remote logging camp in the brooding shadow of Mesachie Mountain, he unwittingly embarks upon a harrowing adventure. As the story unfolds, the hapless loggers find themselves pitted against much more than simply rough country and bad weather. The mountain and valley are said to be under a curse with supernatural forces at work. But camp boss Garfield Hobson has chosen to ignore these dark rumours, driven by a blinding obsession to harvest the timber covering the rugged Mesachie hills,

Peter Trower worked as a logger for twenty-two years. Since 1971, he has published twelve books of poetry and contributed to several issues of Raincoast Chronicles and Vancouuer Magazine. The Judas Hills is his third novel on the West Coast logging life.
