Letters from Holman's Find: The Unravelling of a Century-Old Goldfields Mystery by Ian Hummerston

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges.

Holman's Find hit its peak in the early 1900s. A thriving gold-mining town in the middle of nowhere, it was bursting with energy with a bank on every corner. Then things changed.

More than a century later, a modern-day history fossicker's accidental fall down a dark, disused gold-mining shaft leads to an eerily exciting find. The fossicker emerges from the mine with a dusty, heavy hand-made leather cylinder and a deathly secret he ultimately will want to keep.

The amateur historian turns detective and a century-old Goldfields' mystery starts to unravel, exposing the bizarre and often larrikin antics of three carefree mining partners, their outback hermitage and how their lives change because of a shared love of a woman.

Historical fiction.
