"Set in Reefton, the boom town of the West Coast goldfields 1877. Suspiciously, a naive young police constable is left in charge of the town over the Christmas and New Year. He is immediately faced with investigating a murder carried out by sly-groggers in the valley. In the meantime, the town has been invaded by 'a collection of scamps, card sharps, liars and cheats, who have come to town for the pickings available in the holiday season.' Among them is Duke Dixon, a Yankee con-man determined to carry out a swindle to empty the pockets and bags of gold of the unsuspecting citizens of Reefton. How will the young policeman deal with so many problems - including more murders - in this story of the gold rush frontier?"--unitybooksonline.co.nz.
