"Campbell's Kingdom" according to Rebecca Brown. This is an early, early Hammond Innes & one of his best!A pale & wasted clerk in sooty old London trudges back to his colorless digs after being told he's going to die soon. It seems he's going to simply give up the ghost without a whimper.Then he receives an airmail letter advising him that an uncle has died & left him his land, high in the Rocky Mountains in
Pritchett. The old man's partners offer him a moderate sum for control. At 36, Bruce Wetheral, a London insurance clerk, finds he hasn't much time to live. Campbell's land--perched at 7000 feet in the Canadian Rockies--may contain vast resources of oil. He declines the offer and launches his own search for Rocky Mountain "Black Gold." "The art of writing thoroughly well-documented and ably-written thrillers is perfectly understood by Innes, whose work stands in a class by itself." --V.S. A few hours later he also learns that he has become sole heir to his grandfather's failing Canadian enterprise
