Local Legend Brought to Life in New Novel

In the legend of Slumach's infamous gold, it's written that Slumach was an elderly Katzie First Nation man who lived where the Pitt River flows out of Pitt Lake. Tried and hung for the shooting of a man in New Westminster in 1891, the whereabouts of his widely sought wealth said to be hidden somewhere near Pitt Lake, British Columbia, seemed destined to remain a mystery forever. With her talent for creating characters to truly care about, and her intuitive ability to summon excitement and passion in her readers, Bonny Darby weaves the historical search for Slumach's Gold into her novel. A tale of adventure, mystery, romance, and a hunt for true buried treasure, White Rose Caper provides the unmistakable elements of an engrossing escape.
