“It’s rare that you get a writer like Carol Buchanan; an historian with a novelist’s ear capable of rending the individual voices of character into the orchestral narrative of a sweeping story.” Craig Johnson, author of the Longmire series of contemporary mystery novels, and creator of the hit Longmire western drama series now running on Netflix. Gripping,… engaging story of the Old West. Daniel Stark (is a) frontier attorney trying to do right by his family while chasing a fortune in gold. (Outside Bozeman, Winter 2010-2011) Don’t miss Carol Buchanan’s newest novel, The Ghost at Beaverhead Rock, available now. In this third novel of the Vigilante Quartet, lawyer Daniel Stark, the hero of God’s Thunderbolt and The Devil in the Bottle, rescues a man from drowning when the ice breaks on Alder Creek. Recovering, he informs Dan that he represents the Bank of New York and was sent by Dan’s autocratic grandfather to bring him back with his gold to pay the debt Dan’s family owes the bank. Dan delays his return as long as he can. Not only does he not have enough gold to pay the debt in full, he does not want to leave his common law wife, Martha, unprotected for fear her brutal first husband will come back. When at last he returns to New York, he finds that Grandfather has made a pledge to the bank: if Dan cannot repay the loan in full, he will be forced to stay and work in Grandfather’s law firm until the debt is repaid. Seeking a quick way to get enough gold, he takes up trading in the Gold Room on Wall Street where fortunes are made — and more often lost. Where the rising price of gold triggers Confederate sympathizers’ singing raucous choruses of “Dixie.” And President Abraham Lincoln has said he “wished all gold traders were shot in the head.” Finalist for the 2011 Spur for Best Long Novel, Gold under Ice is Book 3 in Carol Buchanan’s Vigilante Quartet. Book 1 is God’s Thunderbolt; Book 2 is The Devil in the Bottle.

Here, for the first time, is the collected work of one of Montana's leading journalists, Ed Kemmick. In these timeless pieces spanning Kemmick's award-winning career, he tells a contemporary story of Montana through the eyes of everyday, extraordinary people who define the rugged individuality and big-hearted kindness of the Big Sky State. Among the tales are those of Dobro Dick, the traveling troubadour from Livingston; Maryona Johnson, who ran a brothel in Miles City; Shirley Smith, the cowboy curator from Fromberg who meticulously maintains the state's rodeo traditions; and Evel Knievel, who even in death gave his hometown of Butte another thrill (and a hell of an afterparty). On every page, Kemmick, the "City Lights" columnist at The Billings Gazette, brings humor and deep empathy to his subjects, making them every bit as vivid for readers as they were when Kemmick sat down to talk with them.

But when Wylie’s recently discovered biological father David and his wife, Andi, show up to her ’80s-themed Sweet Sixteen costume party, her friends are intrigued by and attracted to the mystery man dressed as a British pop star. Wylie’s resistance to dish on him prompts her rival, Christina, to dig up the dirt on her own.A clash with Christina sends Wylie to detention, where she meets Clark Anderson, a cute senior clad in leather jacket and graphic T-shirts, who charms his teachers and takes an instant interest in Wylie. Smart and well read, he insists that they abandon their smartphones for pen and paper. Every correspondence draws them closer, until they are holding hands underneath the desks and stealing kisses in the park. While Christina makes life increasingly difficult for Wylie in and out of school, Wylie’s deepening relationship with David and Andi makes trouble for her parents, Janine and Peter, and her sister, Trish. Everyone seems to be hiding something—Clark’s inability to let go of his ex-girlfriend, Roxanne and Bottsy’s conflicting love interests, and David’s reluctance to come clean about his past—and Wylie spins in the whirlpool of it all. Clark’s pending graduation threatens Wylie, her impulses threaten all of her relationships, and Christina’s revelation about David threatens to blow everything apart. Wylie’s only solace may be in the power of the written word.
