About this book
Mable Seeley, whose rapid rise to the front rank of American mystery writers has been phenomenal, presents a new novel with the wild and sometimes malevolent beauty of the mountains of Wyoming as a background. The Lady Luck ranch is owned by the wealthy and ambitious Mrs. Parent, who likes to entertain her guests on her vast Western estate. One night twelve persons set out to enjoy a moonlight ride in the mountains—and the title tells what to expect. Mabel Seeley's story is studded with dramatic incidents, excellent characterisation, lots of suspense, and the definite Seeley mark in style.
