Aprašymas

Fifth in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent.

In the tradition of the John Wayne classic western films and legendary television series of Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian's didn't kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it. This series is presented as self-contained standalone story novels that do not have to be read in any particular order. It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them.

DEAD MAN'S GOLD

When the Josey Mine caved in on Buckshot Dobbs, the grizzled old prospector departed for a better world leaving behind a rich vein of Colorado gold-but no will. Anticipating a sudden immigration of strangers calling themselves Dobbs, the town fathers of El Tejon hired Pinkerton detective James Alexander to investigate Buckshot's self-proclaimed blood relations who were already staking claims to his estate.

But Alexander investigates the old-timer's death instead, and suddenly his blood is at stake when he gets bushwacked by a pair of hired hardcases toting a barrel of black blasting powder and a notion to pulverize the Pinkerton man into buzzard's meat. There's more to the legacy than meets the eye, and Alexander gets one last chance to solve the secret of the Josey Mine and either save his skin or become another victim of the...Tombstone Lode.
