Kent Rasmussen, an officer of the North West Mounted Police, is leaving the force to return home to his mother and sister in Minnesota. While withdrawing his final pay from a bank in Windsor, he encounters Nellie Newburn, who is trying to withdraw the outrageous sum of {dollar}347,000. She approaches him and offers to pay him a large sum of money if he will escort her and the money safely home to her family: a lucrative offer he cannot refuse.  As they begin their travels, he learns about the cold cache - a vast sum of money and gold buried somewhere in New Mexico Territory by a group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle, who want the money to fund the creation of a new nation. Knowledge that Jesse James and other outlaws added to treasure with their ill-gotten gains piques Rasmussen's interest even further.

      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.
