"A newspaperman's daughter and novice reporter Sam Clemens uncover a plot to seize the mighty Comstock Lode for the Confederacy in this open-throttled page turner from Lasky . . . Lasky surrounds Alice Rose with a wild array of barflies, 'hurdy-gurdy girls, ' nouveau millionaires, immigrant Chinese, crooked lawyers, and hard-living reporters; she also gives her a salty, vivid way with words and propels her into plenty of tense situations."—"Kirkus Reviews."
