Summary:
"Despite the fact that his wedding is right around the corner, John Quincannon takes on what may be his riskiest assignment: going undercover into a gold mine to ferret out a gang hijacking high-grade ore before it reaches the surface. While John travels to the settlement of Patch Creek, where the mine is located, his none-too-pleased partner, Sabina Carpenter, remains in San Francisco. She investigates the background of a man suspected of involvement in the gold thefts, but also uncovers an audacious real estate scam and an abusive young man's villainous secret. Meanwhile, John discovers the clever methods by which the scheme is being worked and exposes the conspirators. But the ringleader escapes with several thousand dollars in stolen gold dust to parts unknown. Bowed but not broken, John follows... which leads him to an unexpected rendezvous with Sabina, who has uncovered vital information about the thief's true identity and whereabouts. Working together, they corner their quarry in a wild battle aboard a speeding train." -- Provided by publisher.
