Gripping Plot Overview

In Part I: The Copper Ledger, sharp-witted Milwaukee reporter Clara Vogel teams up with rugged Northwoods guide Elias "Eli" Sorenson to chase Jacques LeGarde's lost fur trader fortune-a hammered copper ledger hiding untapped silver and copper veins. They race Chicago bootleggers like slick Victor Vance through iconic spots: Milwaukee's City Hall shadows, Devils Lake's Balanced Rock, Wisconsin Dells' Witches Gulch, Door County's Cana Island Lighthouse, and Lake Superior's icy sea caves.
Part II: The Driftless Derailment ups the stakes with a hunt for Confederate gold in a hidden train car amid unglaciated bluffs, battling railroad tycoon Archie Vance to save Eli's animal shelter.
