Lincoln Croft specializes in finding lost things; whether it’s a bauble that fell from a saddle bag, a child that has wandered into the woods, or a groom who skipped out the day before the wedding; he’ll find it. But when an old miner is beaten and robbed of his life’s work, and asks Lincoln to recover it for him, he faces a challenge unlike any he’s ever had to face. He has to get the gold back from men who are likely to fill him full of lead unless he kills them first. Lincoln has never fired a shot in anger at any human, and he’s not at all sure he has it in him to kill a man. But he believes in justice, so he takes the job. He trails the thieves from Sweetwater, Nevada to Devil’s Gate, California, a land of grotesque rock formations and hard men. When he uncovers a plot to rob a local mine’s payroll, the stakes get even higher. Does Lincoln have what it takes to go head-to-head with a gang of murderous robbers? It’s a question that keeps him awake at night.
