Some mines hide more than treasure.
When journalist Jimmy "Lucky" King heads into the Colorado mountains in search of the story of a lifetime, he never expects his journey to begin with bullets.
Ambushed by outlaws, Lucky is saved by his cousin, retired bounty hunter Dusty Welch, who reluctantly agrees to ride with him to Denver.
They uncover a dazzling discovery-a diamond mine hailed as the find of the century. But something doesn't add up.
Behind the glitter lies a dangerous deception, masterminded by Roy Sullivan and Clay Harrison, men willing to kill to protect their scheme.
As financiers vanish and masked bandits close in, Lucky and Dusty are pulled into a deadly game where fortunes and lives hang in the balance.
With Dusty's sharp-shooting skills, Lucky's persistence, and the aid of Clara Devlin-Dusty's clever assistant-the cousins must fight to clear their names and expose the truth.
Can they stop the greatest hoax of the 19th century before their reputations are destroyed-or will diamonds glitter brightest over their graves?
