When Montana's Copper King vanishes from his own mine, can the Brady detectives uncover a deadly conspiracy before greed claims its ultimate prize?
When Colonel James A. Barron, Montana's legendary Copper King, vanishes without a trace from his own mine, it sparks one of the most baffling mysteries the West has ever seen. The millionaire mining magnate simply walked into the darkness one evening and was never seen again—leaving behind a fortune, a devoted daughter, and a web of deadly secrets buried deep in the Montana mountains.
Enter the world-famous Brady detectives, hired by Barron's desperate daughter Linda to uncover the truth. Going undercover at the remote Montague mine, Old King Brady and his partner Young King Brady discover that the missing copper baron's disappearance is just the beginning of a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of the mining industry. When the mine's trusted superintendent William McCoy hires Harry as a spy to watch his own partner, the Bradys realize they're caught in a deadly game where no one can be trusted.
As more people vanish into the treacherous foothills of the Rattlesnake Range, the Bradys must navigate a maze of midnight meetings, hidden mountain strongholds, and violent confrontations with desperate men who will kill to protect their secrets. But the greatest shock comes when they discover that the mastermind behind the conspiracy is someone Colonel Barron trusted with his life—and his daughter's heart.
Racing against time through the savage Montana wilderness, the Bradys must rescue the Copper King before his captors decide he's worth more dead than alive. In a final showdown among the peaks and copper mines of the frontier, they'll face their most dangerous adversary yet in this tale of greed, betrayal, and the price of striking it rich.
BUYING A SPY.
The sun was just setting over the rugged peaks of the Rattlesnake range, and the yellow, poisonous smoke from the copper smelting furnaces of the great Montague mill were tinged red by its dying light as they rose heavenward in a straight column, for there was not a breath of air stirring, and the smoke from the tall chimney went up—up—up until it lost itself in space far above.
