Opis

Teri Lovejoy has Lemon Boy and the two Bobby's escorting a group of rowdy teenagers to the ski festival this year. Lemon Boy is also there to see the rapper TruLuv. The two of them just found out they are father and son, but TruLuv has refused to talk to him. It's time for the Nubian Winter Festival, an annual event for African-Americans and other minority skiers from all over the country This year it's at the first minority owned ski resort, Gold Mountain. But Gold Mountain has enemies, and it's not a black thing. It's a gold thing. A group of locals have been secretly and illegally mining gold from the back side of Gold Mountain. With gold trading at $1500 per ounce, every speck of dust makes it worth the secrecy and the treachery, which includes attempts to buy the resort out from under Carlos DeBary, the savvy, sophisticated owner of Gold Mountain. Add a list of side characters - a grifter who promises more than she will ever deliver; a hedge fund investor facing jail time unless he sells his share of the resort to the gold thieves; and a set of brothers seeking revenge against those who cheated them out of their share of the yellow stuff. When equipment gets sabotaged and dead bodies start showing up during the festival, the owner of Gold Mountain calls on Lemon Boy and the Paladin staff to get answers the police can't find. In the end, all the old lessons surrounding the greed for gold come true, because people are Dying Hard on Gold Mountain.
