Up in Canada, people are disappearing and dying on the frozen tundra, with hardly a sign or a footprint to mark the cause. Doc investigates and tangles the devious Stroam.

'The Mystery on the Snow' features original illustrations. In one of his most important adventures, the Man of Bronze journeys north to Canada, and in her magnificent wilderness solves a billion-dollar riddle: who or what has committed murder - and worse! - to possess the secret of the miracle called Benlanium? 'The King Maker in the Kingdom of Calbia', the most far-flung plot of the century is already under way. The Man of Bronze and his daring companions join the revolutionary forces of Conte Cozonac, but soon find themselves the intended victims of the most fearsome weapons the world has ever seen!"
