    About this ebook

    "A well-crafted novel that will appeal to readers of mysteries, historical fiction, and genre westerns."—Booklist

    The railroad is coming to Leadville and its rich Rocky Mountain mines. Among those who will be on hand to celebrate the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande is Ulysses S. Grant, 18th President of the United States and former commander of the Union armies.

    Like other residents in the Colorado boomtown this summer of 1880, Inez Stannert regards the news as mixed. With her business partnership in the Silver Queen Saloon shaky and the bonds of family slipping (her husband is still missing and her young son is still back East), Inez doesn't need the lawlessness of Leadville to turn, once again, into murder.

    But Inez isn't the only one with iron ties to the past. Some folks have wicked memories of the war, others have a stake in the competing railroad lines. And photographer Susan Carothers, Inez's friend, is caught in the deadly crossfire….

      An engaging historical mystery, set in the days of Colorado's silver rush. Both the mystery and the characters are compelling. A worthy sequel to her first book, Silver Lies.
    • 5/5
      I love this book because it describes the aftermath of the Civil War. Not only that- the main characters are Missouri war veterans from both sides. I had great great grandfathers from Missouri fighting on both sides of the Civil War!! The accurate details of life in 1880 are totally engrossing. I kept leaving the story to look up Whitworth rifles and fish plates on Wikipedia. The plot is dense and the characters are sometimes not who they say they are. You must pay attention! It will be worth the effort.
