Firewater is the name that was given by native Canadian Indians to the powerful rum that was offered by the Hudson's Bay Company in exchange for pelts. To ensure they were getting the genuine liquor, Indian trappers would set a spoonful alight before accepting it in trade. The Firewater novels recount a journey undertaken by mismatched twin brothers, that sets out as a straightforward business venture but develops into a troubled voyage bound for disaster Firewater: Book Two: INSORCK follows the Kelly twins as they continue their cruise through France, blissfully unaware that they are carrying deadly weapons hidden in the starboard hull of their catamaran.
