If you like Ann Parker’s Silver Rush mysteries, Amy Stewart’s Kopp Sisters, and Jennifer Kincheloe’s Anna Blanc mysteries, you’ll love Nell: Marshal of Bodie, featuring a plucky, determined heroine who is tenacious in her efforts to solve an unfolding mystery.

In the winter of 1892, the once-vibrant gold-mining town of Bodie, California is in serious decline.

Nell Doherty, an 18-year-old young woman with a wooden leg, dreams of leaving and becoming a Pinkerton detective.

When a tragic shooting presents her with an opportunity to prove she has the skills needed to work for the Pinkertons, Bodie’s justice of the peace deputizes Nell — over the loud objections of the majority of the town’s residents.

Can she prove them all wrong?

Nell digs in and investigates the shooting, with the help of Rags, her half-Irish, half-Chinese best friend.

As they work against the clock to solve the mystery, Nell and Rags become the targets of ruthless desperadoes who won’t let anyone get between them and a fortune.
