McKenzie 06 - Jelly's Gold

Rushmore McKenzie, a retired St. Paul policeman and unexpected
millionaire, often works as an unlicensed P.I., doing favors as it suits
him. When graduate students Ivy Flynn and Josh Berglund show up with a
story about $8 million in missing stolen gold from the '-30s, McKenzie
is intrigued.
In the early 20th century, St. Paul, Minnesota was
an open city - a place where gangsters could come and stay unmolested
by the local authorities. Frank 'Jelly' Nash was suspected of
masterminding a daring robbery of gold bars in 1933, but, before he
could unload it, he was killed in the Kansas City Massacre. His gold,
they believe, is still somewhere in St. Paul.
But they aren't
the only ones looking. So are a couple of two-bit thugs, a woman named
Heavenly, a local big-wig, and others. When Berglund is shot dead
outside of Ivy's apartment, the treasure hunt turns unexpectedly deadly.
McKenzie is looking for more than a legendary stash from seventy-five
years ago, he's looking for a killer and the long hidden truth behind
Jelly's gold.
