From the author of the bestselling Roman Mysteries series, a new series set in the West, filled with dangers and dangerous villains at every corner!
Virginia City in 1862 is a mining camp located over a rich vein of silver in the Wild West of America. It is a dangerous place, filled with gamblers, femme fatales, and gunslingers - all lying in wait! When twelve-year-old P.K. Pinkerton arrives there, homeless, penniless, and on the run, things don't look good. But soon P.K. finds allies in journalist Sam Clemens, gambler Poker Face Jace, who can tell when someone is bluffing, and Ping, the photographer apprentice from China.
With the help of these friends - and armed with a Smith & Wesson seven-shooter and a talent for disguises - P.K. faces off against crooks and villains and tries to become a detective. Fast-paced, intense, and funny - a thoroughly enjoyable mystery adventure from a writer who knows exactly how to keep and thrill her readers.
