Publisher Description

Growing up in the wild gold-mining town of Bodie, California, in the 1880s, Angeline Reddy has seen it all -- saloons, brawls, and a whole lot of desperation. When her father, Bodie's greatest lawyer, is declared murdered, Angie knows deep in her heart that he isn't dead and decides it is up to her to solve the mystery of what happened to him. But when her mother takes ill and a mysterious ghost appears, putting together the puzzle pieces seems impossible. Not to mention, a gang of vigilantes, the 601, is raging out of control, running folks out of town, and nobody seems safe.

Will Angie, with the help of her friends Ellie and Ling Loi, and the mysterious and tragically handsome Antoine, be able to uncover the secret of her father's disappearance?

"I liked this book, because I liked Angie's character, I am interested in 19th century gold rush boom towns and, unlike most of the books in the Dear America series, it played out like a mystery. I strongly recommend this book."

Quotes

  • “This complex novel, featuring multidimensional characters, is related in formal Victorian prose; Patron’s style affects the tone of a comedic mystery/melodrama, well suited to the story’s theme that people often hide their true selves (both good and bad) behind disguises.”

    " Were it not for the book's cover, historical note and dated entries, I wouldn't have thought of this as a Dear America book. It seemed a bit too much like a murder mystery, quite like True Grit. The story itself however was good and I enjoyed reading it. "
