THEME
The most probable theme of Devil's Pass is secrets.The majority of the book is revolving around keeping secrets from others and slowly being destroyed by them. For example, Webb's mission in the Northwest Territories was in the end to solve a mystery of about the murder of one his grandpa's old friends, which ultimately connected to keeping secrets.
Webb himself has secrets he keeps to himself, like how his stepfather tortures him, how he was expelled from high school, and for what reason he is in the Northwest Territories. These many secrets slowly turn Webb into a cold, isolated character.
The author did good job of projecting the theme in the book; the theme came out over and over in the story. wonderful job.
