Octogenarian Flo should be delighted with a third case to solve this holiday season, but this one draws her into a past she thought she had left behind. The love of her life from fifty years ago, Gilbert Lane, begs her to help save his life. He lives in Eureka, Nevada, a small mining town which flourished in the 1850s. Its current claim to fame is the Eureka Opera House, lovingly restored and now home to Gil's theatrical productions. Is her old boyfriend really in trouble or is he simply being dramatic with hopes he can lure Flo back into his life? Flo, Maude and bodyguard Kate make the journey into the Wild West where Flo uncovers more than she bargains for. Along with a would-be murderer, Flo discovers the real reason her love affair ended.
