The Last Letter: A Klondike Goldrush Murder Spawns a Dynasty...and Destroys a Family - Hardcover

by Robert L. McIntyre (Author)

The Last Letter is an epic tale of the rise and fall of the fictional Carmichael dynasty through three generations, during a period of explosive growth of the Pacific Northwest.

During a punishing drought in the Midwest in 1898, a young homesteader is swept up in the hope and hype of the Klondike Gold Rush, and joins the great stampede to the Yukon. Readers experience the Gold Rush through the wide eyes of the nineteen-year-old farm kid. Through hardship and setbacks, liars and thieves, Seamus returns with a fortune, but the gold carries a curse.

When the present-day brother and sister discover the shocking truth about the curse, sibling ties are ripped apart. Jack is compelled to expose the truth, while cunning and powerful Olivia, will do anything to keep the families' secret buried with the past.

The Last Letter takes readers on a great adventure, from the rough and tumble boomtowns of the Klondike Gold Rush in 1898, to the opulent boardrooms of the powerbrokers of today.
