About This Book

Two teenage brothers answer their detective father's urgent call to the mountain West to trace a shipment of stolen bullion rumored to be hidden near a mining camp. Their quest blends long train travel and city stops with harsh frontier conditions, storm and blizzard, cave exploration and shaft descents. They piece together clues, examine an outlaw's notebook, survive a cave-in and underground attacks, and help lay a trap that leads to the recovery of the missing gold, with episodic chapters alternating action, investigation, and explanatory recounting of the case.
