In a tweed coat and pith helmet, Hannibal Jones stands out from the hardscrabble crowd on the Nevada frontier. But the legendary mining geologist fears no man, dead or alive - and that includes the ghost believed to haunt the long-closed Alice Mine.
I found this book to be charming, witty, and at times, extremely funny. It reminded me a bit of 'It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World'. I haven't read any other works by Richard S. Wheeler, but I will after reading this one, only to see if his other works aren't quite so 'predictable' as the other reviewer commented. To that...I have to agree, but it was still a fun read.
