'The Luck of the Kid' by Ridgwell Cullum is a novel that unfolds in the sub-Arctic summer, where two men are on a river bank trying to find gold. The younger man, Sate, tells his father that they have missed the gold and another man has found it. Marty Le Gros, a priest-man with a say-so of religion, has found two great nuggets of clear yellow gold on Loon Creek. Sate has overheard this and informs his father, who decides to get the secret from Marty Le Gros himself.
