Jack Waterman ha aceptado escribir la autobiografía del joven portero del Gran Club de Hockey de Montreal, Isidore Dumont, descendiente de Gabriel Dumont, líder militar de Louis Riel. Pero Jack se siente inmediatamente fascinado por una nueva novela y confía la tarea a su hermano menor.A regañadientes, Francis se embarca en este proyecto de escritura fantasma y recibe la ayuda de la Gran Saltamontes, el personaje fetiche que cruzó Améri- ca con Jack en Volkswagen Blues, y que regresa a Quebec tras pasar por Bato- che, escenario de la batalla que marcó el fin de la rebelión de los Métis de Louis Riel en 1885.Las largas piernas de esta mujer montañesa inquietan cada vez más a Francis mientras escribe la historia de Isidore basándose en las entrevistas que Jack ha grabado. ¡Los hermanos menores también pueden caer bajo el hechizo de una mujer Métis tan libre e independiente, y a la vez tan misteriosa como la sonrisa de un gato!Cuando el comisionado de la Liga Nacional se entera de que este Dumont de Saskatchewan quiere promover en su libro « ideas rebeldes », es Jack quien se convierte en objeto de una inquietante vigilancia.—de la edición canadiense · Leméac, 2011 10
