Publisher's Synopsis
Charlee Lebeau has to disappear. With the help of her best friend Jake and the San Francisco Underground Railroad, she talks her way onto a merchant schooner bound for Fort Victoria in the British Territories, an ill-gotten gold mine share certificate in hand. But pretending to be a cabin boy is the least of her challenges, as the journey north proves to be much more than she bargained for . . .
"They pulled a burlap bag over my head. My neck wobbled as they lifted me and carried me out like a sack of potatoes. I couldn't fight. Help! Mizzy! Mrs. Plea! I'm being kidnapped! They couldn't hear me. The words tore around in my head and crashed in the back of my throat as I plunged into darkness."
This new book from C.V. Gauthier, packed with extraordinary characters and thrilling adventures, continues the tale that began with Charlee Lebeau & the Gambler's Promise.
