Synopsis

The cold cache is a huge sum of money, buried somewhere in New Mexico Territory during the War Between the States, intended to fund the creation of a new nation. Behind the plot was a shadowy group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. Over the years, Jesse James and other outlaws have added to the hoard with money from their plunder... Kent Rasmussen, formerly of the North-West Mounted Police, knows nothing of this. He's been hired by Nellie Newburn to guard her - and her wealth - for the length of her journey to Springfield, Missouri. But he has no idea he's about to walk straight into a long-standing Southern family feud. For both the Newburns and the Claytons know about the cold cache - and stealing Ellie's money will finance an expedition to New Mexico Territory to find it...

From Publishers Weekly:

Champlin (The Blaze of Noon; Devil's Domain; etc.) explores a frontier feud in this fast-paced tale set in 1890 Missouri and New Mexico. After eight years as a Canadian Mountie, Kent Rasmussen is re-routed on his way home to Minnesota when a mysterious woman, Nellie Newburn, hires him to protect her and the $250,000 she is carrying from her estranged husband Johnny Clayton. Rasmussen finds himself enmeshed in a bitter feud between the Newburns and the Claytons and a hunt for $3 million-gold that Nellie's grandfather, a Confederate sympathizer, plans to use "to finance the establishment of a new country." Distrusted by both families, Rasmussen joins with an eccentric hermit to protect Nellie and recover the treasure. All parties converge on the high desert for a final showdown. Champlin brings the Old West to life with engaging characters, an inventive plot, and a genuine respect for disparate frontier cultures.
