** A harrowing hunt in the California gold country ** * Second Edition, Revised and Expanded * _______________ A young man disappears in the Mother Lode wilderness. He leaves behind a gold-flecked rock and a vial of toxic mercury. He is a misfit in the modern world, a throwback to the Gold Rush days. A venture capitalist--whose gold country is Silicon Valley--hires forensic geologists Cassie Oldfield and Walter Shaws to track his missing brother. Following one of the 'lost rivers' of California, Cassie and Walter plunge into the dark history of the legendary lands, into the dark past of the brothers, into a poisonous sibling feud that threatens both lives and the land. And they are not the only ones on the hunt. rev. 9/2015
Perhaps the best series I have read in a long time.

This well written series has everything I want in a great series!
Savvy and complex as well as interesting characters, locations, and fascinating knowledge of unimaginable actions.
Her third with Volcanoes as the star is breathtaking! I literally read the first 3 of the forensic geology series straight through despite vision difficulties!
