Synopsis

THE GOLDSEEKERS Jim and Hoxie meet the Old Man in a Seattle bar. He’s fought in the Civil War and the Mexican War. The Old Man has been around. He’s even been to Alaska. Took out $35,000 in gold dust ten years back, and spent it on women and high living. Now it’s time to go back and find the real cache he knows is still up there. All he needs are a couple more partners, fellow investors to help pay for the food and equipment they’ll need for a tough winter near the Arctic Circle. Once Jim agrees, Hoxie is in. After all, they’re two Ohio boys looking for adventure. Why not? And soon young Lloyd—son of the rooming-house family they’re living with—decides to join them, bound and determined to find his own independence. But none of them figure on the struggles it will take them just to get to the Yukon—nor the grit it will take to stay.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

William Riley Burnett was born November 25, 1899 in Springfield, Ohio. Moving to Chicago in 1927, he developed an interest in gangsters which prompted him to write his first noir novel, Little Caesar, in 1929. Soon after that overnight success, Burnett moved to Los Angeles, eventually writing 36 novels—including High Sierra and The Asphalt Jungle—and 60 screenplays, as well as songs, plays and short stories. Nominated twice for an Academy Award, he received both the MWA Grand Master award and an O. Henry Memorial Award. Burnett died on April 25, 1982.
