Poole's Gold — C.J. Petit

When the postal inspector in Carson City discovered a counterfeit one-dollar bill, he notified the Secret Service. That was why they'd been created just a decade earlier.Secret Service Agent Sean Brady was assigned to the case and prepared to make the day-long train ride from Ogden to start his investigation. Before he left, he was presented with a minor mystery by the Union Pacific freight manager that had nothing to do with counterfeiting. As a courtesy to his friend, he said he'd look into the strange shipment of zinc which had been sent to nearby Virginia City.He also decided to visit a boyhood friend whose family now lived south of Carson City after he'd corralled the counterfeiters. Even with the two detours, he still expected to return to Ogden in a little more than a week.He had no idea how much his life would be changed before he even found the men who'd printed the counterfeit currency.
