Bill Trelawney's task was somewhat like that of a detective. But rather than looking for a murderer or a thief, he would be looking for gold. Sent to the Cariboo region of British Columbia, scene of the historic Cariboo gold rush, the young geologist, working for Kingfisher Explorations, uncovers some promising gold veins. This novel has it all: murders, stock market swindles, deceptions and romance.
