The gold chip / Douglas Hirt.

Hirt, Douglas, (author.).

Summary:

""It all started one Blizzardy Kansas night when a half frozen Indian staggers into Somerville and dies right there on the floor of Wilsons Barbershop... but not before telling a crazy story and showing a lump of gold that looks strangely like a golden buffalo patty. Immediately, the story spreads about a Midas buffalo that...ahem...poops golden chips. The normally rational townsfolk become crazed with gold fever and set off en masse to capture this magical beast, but a few folks arent so sure. Libby Barrett, ace reporter for the Somerville Independent, suspects someone is playing a prank on the town, but what to make of the golden buffalo chip and the very dead Indian? Its a puzzle that Libby sets her sights to solve; a quest for truth that quickly turns deadly." --page [4] of cover"--Provided by publisher.
