Publisher's Synopsis
The cold cache is a huge sum of money, buried somewhere in New Mexico Territory during the War Between the States, intended to fund the creation of a new nation. Behind the plot was a shadowy group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle. Over the years, Jesse James and other outlaws have added to the hoard with money from their plunder... Kent Rasmussen, formerly of the North-West Mounted Police, knows nothing of this. He's been hired by Nellie Newburn to guard her - and her wealth - for the length of her journey to Springfield, Missouri. But he has no idea he's about to walk straight into a long-standing Southern family feud. For both the Newburns and the Claytons know about the cold cache - and stealing Ellie's money will finance an expedition to New Mexico Territory to find it...
