Sobre este e-book

It's the spring of 1898, and Dawson, Yukon Territory, is the most exciting town in North America. The great Klondike Gold Rush is in full swing and Fiona MacGillivray has crawled over the Chilkoot Pass determined to make her fortune as the owner of the Savoy dance hall. Provided, that is, that her twelve-year-old son, growing up much too fast for her liking; the former Glasgow street fighter who's now her business partner; a stern, handsome NWMP constable; an aging, love-struck ex-boxing champion; a wild assortment of headstrong dancers, croupiers, gamblers, madams without hearts of gold, bar hangers-on, cheechakos, and sourdoughs; and Fiona's own nimble-fingered past don't get to her first. And then there's the dead body on centre stage.

Sobre o autor

Vicki Delany began her writing career with two novels of suspense, Scare the Light Away (9781590582794) and Burden of Memory (9781590584156), which were published to critical acclaim by Poisoned Pen Press. In 2007, Vicki published In the Shadow of the Glacier (9781590585580), the first book in a police procedural series set in the British Columbia Interior. On a canoeing trip in Algonquin Park , Delany began telling her trip mates stories about the incredible difficulties people endured in their attempts to get to the Klondike in search of gold, and the idea for a series of Klondike Gold Rush mysteries was set. Gold Digger is the first in that series and will appear in the spring of 2009.
