From the author of the Edgar Award-winning American Lightning comes this fascinating story of the 1897 Klondike Gold Rush. Through the eyes some exuberant characters from history -- a Pinkerton detective, a confidence man and an army deserter figuring among them -- Blum explores the dreams that drove men to the last remnant of the Old West, the Alaskan frontier.  (ALA341, $16.00)
