About This Book
A young woman named Patty Sinclair rides into remote mountain country to follow clues about her late father's mining strike, enduring hardship as she searches terrain and communities for the hidden claim. The narrative follows prospecting trips, a gambler called Monk Bethune who maneuvers to exploit the discovery, and episodes at ranches, sheep camps, and cabins where loyalties and deceptions surface. Through maps, a lost glove, a horse raid, and a frantic race to register the claim, the story exposes schemes and identities while examining frontier independence, greed, and the resourcefulness needed to protect an inheritance.
