The River’s End by James Oliver Curwood
"The River's End" by James Oliver Curwood is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two men, Derwent Conniston, a member of the Northwest Mounted Police, and Keith, an outlaw who has captured Conniston's interest due to their striking physical resemblance. The novel explores themes of morality, justice, and identity, as Conniston finds himself grappling with the implications of his duty versus the kinship he feels towards Keith. The opening of "The River's End" sets a suspenseful and introspective tone, as Conniston reflects on his long pursuit of Keith, a man he was tasked to bring in for a crime. They find themselves in a tiny cabin surrounded by the fierce arctic storm, where Conniston is near death from an illness. The dynamics of their relationship become complex as Conniston discovers that Keith, despite being his quarry, has been trying to nurse him back to health. As Conniston discusses his impending death and the burden of bringing in Keith alive, he proposes a daring exchange of identities. The narrative quickly escalates with tension and the question of morality, friendship, and sacrifice hanging in the balance.

Summary
Between Conniston, of His Majesty's Royal Northwest Mounted Police, and Keith, the outlaw, there was a striking physical and facial resemblance. Both had observed it, of course. It gave them a sort of confidence in each other. Between them it hovered in a subtle and unanalyzed presence that was constantly suggesting to Conniston a line of action that would have made him a traitor to his oath of duty. For nearly a month he had crushed down the whispered temptings of this thing between them. He represented the law. He was the law. For twenty-seven months he had followed Keith, and always there had been in his mind that parting injunction of the splendid service of which he was a part?"Don't come back until you get your man, dead or alive." Otherwise?
