About this Book

For her first assignment, a young woman working for an all-woman publishing firm, must find out who wrote The Scarlet Rider: or, a Mystery of the Gold-Diggings, which was serialized anonymously in an 1860s newspaper. As she get ever closer to the heart of this century-old mystery, Melvina Kirksley feels the past come alive and she begins to question her own identity both now -- and then.
