## Resource

Carey Smith, first time novelist, is from a small Northern Ontario town. With the support of her husband and her 2 adult children creating this fictional actionpacked novel has been on her bucket list and has been a topic of conversation for over 20 years. With her love of crime shows, Carey draws on her personal connection to Northern Ontario in hopes to make the novel as realistic as possible. Tess, a bank manager, is offered a "special project" which requires her to travel to Chapleau, a remote town in Northern Ontario, which will put her on one of the most dangerous roads in the North. Excited for the challenge, Tess and her bank team are tasked with opening a branch in the small northern town so a local gold company can use the branch as a distribution point to transport their refined gold to the city of Sault Falls. After Tess catches her husband in bed with another woman, she builds a relationship with a younger man named Jake. As Tess and Jake's relationship flourishes, they begin planning a gold heist. This adventure has many twists and turns, and, in the end, their adventure turns to survival. The route is isolated and lightly travelled throughout its length; while providing access to several remote settlements, the only sizable communities along the route are the two termini. https://www.amazon.ca/Operation-Highway-129-Carey-Smith/dp/0228835232
