    "Someone's stealing gold shipments in Colorado. John Whyte
 ace Pinkerton detective
 is tasked to find the culprits and bring them to justice. He is joined by his friends and associates: Khan Singh
 his loyal Sikh manservant from his service for the Queen in India
 who followed him to America and fought at his side in the Civil War; and Curly Bill Williams
 his American friend from Texas. John investigates the string of brutal robberies of gold shipments from the mines in central Colorado en route to Denver
 where the precious metal is refined into gold coins at the US Mint. John enlists the aid of a lovely Irish madam
 who impresses him with her sharp mind as well as her physical charms. Together
 they solve the mystery
 and in a series of shootouts break up and destroy the gang
 including the arrest of its surprising leader"--Provided by the publisher.
