In the sixth book of the 1880's Silver Rush Mysteries, Inez Stannert, co-owner in absentia of Leadville, Colorado's Silver Queen saloon, has settled in San Francisco with her young ward, Antonia Gizzi. Her carefully constructed life as manager of a music store while forming lucrative business relationships with local women entrepreneurs threatens to tumble about her ears when the badly beaten body of a young musician with ties to Leadville's rich and powerful washes up on the filthy banks of San Francisco's Mission Creek. Inez, Antonia, and Leadville's leading madam Frisco Flo find themselves in a desperate race against time to unravel the mystery of his death.
