# Dividend On Murder
The frozen silence of the Yukon breaks only to the howl of King, Sergeant Preston's loyal sled dog, as our intrepid Mountie ventures into a remote mining camp where fortune and murder have become strange bedfellows. When a prospector is found dead beneath a collapsed cabin, the obvious suspect—a desperate drifter blamed for countless camp robberies—seems almost too convenient. But Preston's keen eye detects inconsistencies that send him spiraling into a tangle of greed, jealousy, and hidden claims that will test both his investigative acumen and his courage against the pitiless Yukon wilderness. Every shadow could conceal a killer, and in "Dividend On Murder," justice itself must be mined from the frozen earth like gold from quartz.
