The Mystery of the Golconda

Description

George Frisbee has returned to Jamestown, a once-thriving mining town now marked by decay and personal ghosts. Nineteen years ago, he witnessed his father’s violent death at the hands of Gass Dubonnet—a memory that still haunts him. Now running for attorney-general, George faces hostility from a town that resents his father’s legacy and his own long absence.

Amidst this tense atmosphere, George reconnects with Miriam Packer, a childhood friend who stirs old emotions and complicates his political campaign. The stakes rise dramatically when Miriam is shot under mysterious circumstances, thrusting him into turmoil and guilt. Desperate to make amends, George braves a snowstorm to deliver a message to his nemesis Dubonnet at the Golconda gold mine. 

First published in 1925, ‘The Mystery of the Golconda’ is a tale of political ambition and the search for redemption in a complex web of deceit and hidden truths.
