Fool's Gold.

TED WOOD

Publication: Scribner's, 1986, New York

First edition. Review copy. Fine in dust jacket. This is the time of the biggest gold strike in Canada, which brings to Olympia a variety of prospectors --- all eager for a piece of the gold!!! Then a geologist is found dead - apparently mauled by a bear. Bennett is called to the scene, and he soon has his suspicions. There hasn't been a mauling is years. As a matter of fact, there hasn't even been a sighting of a bear recently. Could the geologist's death have been a murder?
