Gold Miner's Daughter

Cold Justice on the Last Frontier

By: Rick Steeby

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In 1960, the frozen wilderness of Chicken, Alaska, becomes a deadly battleground when drifting cowboy Wyatt Peoples stumbles into a web of murder and greed.
Fresh from the Korean War and seeking refuge in the goldfields near the Canadian border, Wyatt finds unexpected purpose working for the captivating Amy Crockett and her mining family. But when Amy's brother is found murdered and Wyatt becomes the prime suspect, he must use his law enforcement background to clear his name and protect the woman who's stolen his heart.
As winter closes in and violence escalates in the tight-knit mining community, Wyatt discovers that in Alaska's last frontier, everyone carries a gun, and justice often comes with the pull of a trigger.
If you enjoyed The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson, Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger, and Winter Study by Nevada Barr, you'll love Gold Miner's Daughter.

Alaskan Adventure

I really liked The Gold Miner’s Daughter. As an Alaskan, it was great to see a story set in Alaska. The author really nailed the feel of the place and the people. The characters are fun, interesting, and a little quirky in that Alaskan way. I listened to the AI narrated version, and it was surprisingly good. Most of the pronunciations were right though it had a little trouble with a few Alaska specific words (can’t blame it there). Overall, it didn’t distract from the story and was an enjoyable listen. If you your looking for something specifically about Alaska or just want a story with a lot of heart and personality, I recommend this one.
