Hooker & Brown is an adventure novel written by Jerry Auld, and set in the Canadian Rockies. It follows one man’s quest to solve a historical mystery. Rumi, a trail crewman, discovers two mysterious mountains in a history book. This reignites interest in the climbing community. Intrigued, Rumi sets out to find these peaks. He wants to retrace the steps of earlier mountaineers and verify the mountains’ existence.
The story is based on true events in the Rocky Mountains. It features vivid descriptions of climbing attempts on some of the world’s greatest peaks. Hooker & Brown examines how mystery and historical inaccuracies impact our lives.
The book was short-listed for the 2009 Boardman-Tasker Award.
“With this powerful and highly poetic first novel Jerry Auld achieves a new peak in the literary interpretation of the nature, history and culture of the mountain West. It is a book about the power of maps and dreams that explores our relationship to gravity and ghosts, rock, water and place with an ending that will leave you breathless.”
“A highly technically accomplished mountaineering novel with a clever plot-line and convincing characters.”

We appreciate that the lands known today as Canada are home to the enduring presence of all First Nations and Métis people, and the Inuit and we acknowledge the past, present, and future generations of these Nations who continue to lead us in stewarding this land, as well as honour their knowledge and cultural ties to this place. The Alpine Club of Canada’s head office is located in the traditional lands of Treaty 7, which is comprised of the Stoney Nakoda Nations of Wesley, Chiniki, and Bearspaw; three Nations of the Blackfoot Confederacy: the Piikani, Kainai, and Siksika; the Mountain Cree; and the Tsuu T’ina of the Dene people. This territory is also shared with the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. Before the signing of Treaty 7, and prior to the establishment of provincial boundaries, this region was also used by the Ktunaxa and the Maskwacis people.
