About this book
Gold hunting in the Rocky Mountains tests the partnership between Desmond Dare, a resourceful young man, and Brooks, the educated wanderer he once rescued. Desmond has already earned prize money for his widowed mother through a walking competition. Now he and Brooks are far from home, camping in a gulch after weeks of disappointing searches. An approaching stranger brings another uncertainty to their mountain camp.
Old Sleuth builds this adventure around practical courage, woodland skills and the hope of finding enough gold to change a life. Desmond, Brooks and Creedon discuss sharing a discovery and using it to finance work on a mine. Their plans involve a dangerous crossing and a long march through the mountains.
