It's smooth-talking, fourteen-year-old Xavier who is our point-of-view character in this third instalment in the highly-praised series. He leads our four time travellers on a wild west adventure as they tackle their first official mission as time detectives, searching for a young time traveller who has been lost for many decades. The '49 gold rush is the chaotic, thrilling back- drop for a satisfying adventure mystery that explores, without a heavy-hand, the black experience of important U.S. historical events.
