Product Information
Chee-Chalker: a newcomer to Alaska and the Klondike; an Indian word meaning one who is inexperienced or has no knowled≥ a tenderfoot. Bill Norton might be new to Ketchikan but he's no tenderfoot. In fact, he's one of the sharpest FBI agents this side of the Yukon--savvy, tough and resourceful, like Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger. Norton's come to this rough-and-tumble town to look into a case of a missing person--his own boss--who vanished investigating a heroin smuggling operation. What Norton finds is a string of corpses, a gallery of rogues, and a fleet of fishing boats that specialize in red herrings. He also finds himself warming up to the heart-stopping halibut heiress Elaine Halloway. But is Elaine mixed up in the heroin trade . . . or a victim of it? To find the truth Norton will have to make living men sweat--and dead men talk. Because every body fished out of the icy waters has a story to tell, and it will take all of Norton's CSI-like skills to squeeze it out of them. Hubbard wrote The Chee-Chalker in 1940 while on his Alaskan Experimental Radio Expedition. One of its main purposes was to test an experimental radio navigation system enabling the user to locate the source of radio transmissions. While in Ketchikan, Ron used this equipment to assist the US Army Signal Corp, Coast Guard and local FBI. In the process he helped uncover a Nazi saboteur who had invented a device to interfere with radio transmissions between Alaska and the continental United States. So it's not surprising that a radio station plays a significant role in this story. "The recording production is the highest quality, filled with realistic sound effects and powerful music." --Publishers Weekly

"Eerie, foreboding music sets the scene as FBI agent Bill Norton, referred to by locals as a chee-chalker, or newcomer, arrives in Ketchikan, Alaska, to search for his boss, who disappeared while investigating a heroin ring. Norton and his eager assistant don't receive much help from the locals as the two agents consider shady halibut fishermen, a beautiful fishing fleet heiress, and a local businessman as possible suspects. In this multicast recording, Norton's flat, serious tones contrast with the innocent voice of heiress Elaine Halloway (portrayed by Meskimen). Excellent sound effects, including slamming doors, blaring ship horns, and fighting fists (complete with realistic punches, groans and thuds), accompany the dialogue. Peals of thunder and pouring rain add to the gloomy atmosphere. The stereotypical depiction of drunken Indians is reflective in the 1940s setting, the era in which this was written. Reminiscent of old-time radio and television dramas, this is most entertaining." -Booklist, "Eerie, foreboding music sets the scene as FBI agent Bill Norton, referred to by locals as a chee-chalker, or newcomer, arrives in Ketchikan, Alaska, to search for his boss, who disappeared while investigating a heroin ring.
