The Golden Mountain

Civil War veteran L.D. Cade returns in a tale of honor, betrayal, and survival—a gripping Western noir thriller from the author of The Killing Look. San Francisco, 1874. A city of gold, secrets, and blood in the streets. War-scarred L.D. Cade wants a fresh start. Partnered with smooth-talking Samuel Clayborne, he's building a business, and maybe a friendship, when a brutal attack at a séance pulls them into a case no one wants solved. The victim, firebrand Suffragist Athena Givens, has powerful enemies who'd rather see her silenced forever. Cade won't stand for that. Meanwhile, Chinatown teeters on the edge of a gang war. Crime boss Lee Kwan wants peace. His brother Fang wants control. And the White Orchid—Kwan's deadly, seductive assassin—wants Cade's help. But in a San Francisco's shadowy underground, favors are never free. With enemies closing in from every direction, Cade must decide what he's willing to fight for, before the streets erupt and everyone he loves is caught in the crossfire. In a city built on secrets, survival means choosing a side . . . and praying you picked the right one. Praise for The Killing Look "A cracking page-turner you won't want to put down." —Tasha Alexander, New York Times–bestselling author "[An] assured thriller . . . Rhoades does a good job illuminating the racial and ethnic tensions of the period. With any luck, this is the start of a series." ―Publishers Weekly "I inhaled this book! It's a wild ride through a fascinating place and time." ―Alexandra Sokoloff, bestselling author of The Huntress series
