Anna Sherman has decided to get a life. She wants to come out of her shell and meet new people. One step toward this is interviewing people in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains for an oral history project. She meets a ninety-something lady who has been keeping company with a ghost since she was a little girl, and her sister-in-law, who owns most of the mineral rights to north Georgia. She also meets a rugged mountain man who would like to get his hands on those mineral rights and a handsome geologist who just might have more on his mind that gold. Then odd things start happening. Anna is trapped inside a dirt tunnel gold mine, dropped down a mine shaft, and accused of murder. Can anything else go wrong?
