{"product_id":"silver-lies-silver-rush-mysteries-1","title":"Silver Lies (Silver Rush Mysteries, 1)","description":"They all came to Leadville with the same purpose: Get in. Get rich. Get out.\nAs 1879 draws to a close, this Rocky Mountain boomtown has infected the world with silver fever. It's not much different than the dot.com mania or the corporate scams that heat up over a century later.\nUnfortunately for Joe Rose, a precious-metals assayer, death stakes its own claim. Joe's body is found trampled into the muck behind Inez Stannert's saloon. Inez already had much more to deal with than pouring shots of Taos Lightning and cleaning up a corpse. A lady educated on the East Coast, she has a past that doesn't bear close scrutiny, including her elopement with a gambling man who has recently disappeared.\nMost townsfolk, including Inez's business partner, Abe Jackson, dismiss Joe's death as an accident. Death, after all, is no stranger in Leadville. But Inez wonders: Why was this loving husband and father carrying a brass token good for \"one free screw\" at the parlor house of Denver madam Mattie Silks?\nWhen Joe's widow Emma asks Inez to settle Joe's affairs, almost against her will, Inez uncovers skewed assays, bogus greenbacks, and blackmail. Lies and secrets run deep in Colorado, secretsmore likely to lead to a hanging than to today's congressional hearings or country-club prisons for the crooked and the greedy. Then again, maybe Joe's murder was purely personal....\nSilver Rush Mysteries:\nSilver Lies (Book 1)\nIron Ties (Book 2)\nLeaden Skies (Book 3)\nMercury's Rise (Book 4)\nWhat Gold Buys (Book 5)\nA Dying Note (Book 6)\nMortal Music (Book 7)\nPraise for the Silver Rush Mysteries:\n\"Plenty of convincing action bodes well for a long and successful series.\"―Publishers Weekly STARRED review for Iron Ties\n\"Meticulously researched and full of rich period details…her characters will stay will you long after you've finished the last page.
