Her undisputed reign is going to be challenged by her roving husband, Mark, who returns with her. The third owner, African-American Abe Jackson, is definitely worried about harnessing this volatile pair to the business, especially as Mark seems bent on wooing back his wife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe boomtown that greets the Stannerts is, as ever, populated by people in quest of fortunes in precious metals. Others, hungry for spiritual relief, seek to pierce the veil between life and death with the help of fortune-tellers, mediums, and occultists. Meanwhile, deep in the twisted byways of Leadville's Stillborn Alley, soothsayer Drina Gizzi works while awaiting the promised arrival of her benefactor, a Mr. Brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Drina is found murdered, strangled with a set of silver and gold corset laces, no one seems to care except the three who find her body: Inez, her lover Reverend Justice Sands, and Drina's young daughter, Antonia, who has been struggling to support her mother by disguising herself as a newsboy called Tony. The mystery surrounding Drina's death deepens when her body vanishes without a trace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs Inez and Antonia band together to seek out Drina's killer, they unearth evidence that resurrection men are supplying bodies dug from the cemetery to \"anatomical dissection classes.\" Additionally, long-held grievances and white-hot revenge surface, complicated by an unruly group of young British remittance men. And by the missing, mysterious Mr. Brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile Mark Stannert, true to his word that he only \"plays to win,\" contrives to drive Inez and Sands apart, gambling that he can convince her to abandon her plans for divorce. But what can gold buy? A new life? Freedom from the past? Truth and justice for those murdered and unmourned? Or a final passage for Inez and Antonia into an unmarked grave and the world of the dead?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSilver Rush Mysteries: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilver Lies (Book 1)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron Ties (Book 2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaden Skies (Book 3)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMercury's Rise (Book 4)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat Gold Buys (Book 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Dying Note (Book 6)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMortal Music (Book 7)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the Silver Rush Mysteries: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Plenty of convincing action bodes well for a long and successful series.\"--\u003cem\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/em\u003e STARRED review for \u003cem\u003eIron Ties\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Meticulously researched and full of rich period details...her characters will stay will you long after you've finished the last page.
