The year is 1893, and Pearl Ryan, a young woman with a checkered
past, arrives in Ruby City, a silver mining town full of
scoundrels—one to which no respectable woman would ever travel.
Pearl sets up shop as the town laundress, but is clearly no
ordinary charwoman: She is courted by many and the local doctor
often solicits her assistance as his nurse. Pearl’s dream is to
attend medical school—not a small feat for a woman alone in the
Wild West—and hopes that the proceeds from her newly inherited
mining claim will pay for her education. Â Meanwhile, laundry
is her bread and butter. As laundress, however, Pearl is privy to
many secrets she’d rather not know. As a student of the healing
arts, she recognizes the symptoms of poisoning when she sees them.
And as a woman with a past she’d rather keep hidden, she must
solve the murders plaguing Ruby City before US marshals arrive.
