*STARRED REVIEW* Set in the summer of 1880, Parker9s oustanding second Silver Rush mystery (after 20039s Silver Lies) finds her heroine, Inez Stannert, corset-deep in the intrigues of Leadville, Colo. Inez9s secret courtship with the Rev.Justice B. Sands is as heated as the conflict over the incoming railroad.When the local authorities question the reliability of Inez9s friend, photographer Susan Carothers, who witnesses a shooting and explosion along the rail line, it9s up to Inez to discover the truth. In one of the many nice twists in this appealing adventure, the attractive railroad man Inez meets during her investigation turns out to be one of the good reverend9s Civil War comrades. In an effort to increase business at the Silver Queen saloon, Inez9s business partner, Abe Jackson, engages an acting couple to perform. None too happily, Inez realizes why the beautiful actress seems so familiar. A ragged piece of cloth becomes a major clue as the clock ticks and the town readies for a visit from former U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant. Plenty of convincing action bodes well for a long and successful series. -- Publishers Week (4.24.2006}
