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 thirties, McKenzie is intrigued.
In the early twentieth century St. Paul, Minnesota, was an open city - a place where gangsters could come and stay in safety, unmolested by the local authorities. Frank "Jelly" Nash is suspected of masterminding a daring robbery of gold bars in 1933, but before he could unload them, he was killed in the Kansas City Massacre. His gold - Ivy and Berglund believe - is still somewhere in St. Paul, and all they have to do is find it.
Unfortunately, they aren't the only ones looking. Their competition includes a couple of two-bit thugs, a woman named Heavenly, a local bigwig, and others who are all somehow involved in the hunt. When Berglund is killed, shot dead outside of Ivy's apartment, the treasure hunt turns unexpectedly deadly. Now 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.
