1800s Wyoming and a diamond mine has been discovered that could bring investors the most amazing riches imaginable but why has nobody who is investing been able to find it easily? Is it so far from the beaten track for a reason or is it simply a natural miracle that has only just been discovered?
Another amazing entry to the series and this sees a story that has great depth to it which I found extremely well thought out and delivered. The smallest of mark downs for the editing.

Decent addition
The Tales of Wyoming has been a great series of books and I've found myself enjoying the stories of the frontier. A Scientist is the first to be an ok read, but I still expect the rest to be as enjoyable as the earlier stories.
