About This Book
A hard-bitten Western prospector who was dispossessed of his claim returns to his old mining town with new wealth, rewarding friends and humiliating enemies while pursuing justice against a corrupt company president. The story moves from frontier confrontations and legal disputes over mining apexes to financial maneuvers in New York, interweaving bruising fights, business scheming, and a developing attachment to a capable, hearing-impaired typist. Episodes alternate action, stock-market plotting, and personal reckonings as the protagonist confronts betrayal, organizes a comeback, and seeks to settle both financial and moral accounts.
