Publisher's Summary
WINNER OF THE 2005 GOVERNOR’S BOOK AWARD FROM THE MISSOURI HUMANITIES COUNCIL!
A treasure trove of gold is found buried next to a skeleton with a bullet hole in the skull. Allison Culbertson faces the toughest courtroom battle of her career to prove the gold belongs to her client, who found it in his basement. The secrets of the gold are revealed in an unforgettable story that transports the listener from a modern courtroom to the glory days of steamboating on the Mississippi, from a love story on the river to the perils of surviving in a Missouri border town during the Civil War.
Swingle’s riveting tale brings the past to life — combining mystery, love, greed, romance, and courtroom drama into a suspenseful blend of history and fiction. Scott Turow meets James Michener.
What the critics say
“Move over Michener, here’s Morley Swingle with high adventure on the Mississippi. It’s the most amazing historical novel I’ve ever read, opening and closing with absorbing courtroom drama.” Elmore Leonard, Former President, Mystery Writers of America
