About This Book

A sergeant of the mounted police arrives at a rough mining settlement and becomes drawn into the lives of a troupe of picture-girls whose presence exposes the camp's vice, gossip, and hopes pinned on a rumored Rainbow Mine. Through inspections, schemes, and clandestine inquiries he seeks to protect the newcomers while uncovering uncertain identities, financial delusions, and rivalries among prospectors and townspeople; personal loyalties, romantic tensions, and shifting fortunes resolve as the community confronts lawbreaking, charity, and the harsh realities of frontier life.
