The Bullion Road

by Lesley a F Santo (Editor), Douglas S Santo

Overview

The sequel to the popularly acclaimed Three Days in Highgrade, this richly detailed story of travel and adventure takes place on the California frontier in 1879. Detective Tom Comfort and his deputy Leonidus have a new client, the beautiful Avalon Soto, vice president of a million-dollar mining corporation. Their mission is to hunt down a bandit gang led by the cunning Joaquin Cahuenga. The bandits have infested the Bullion Road in California's Mojave Desert. The road is the lifeline for the miners of the Owens Valley and critical to the economic growth of the young and burgeoning Pueblo de Los Angeles. Romance and action follow the trio as they face a vigilante mob in Los Angeles and ride with a 20-mule-team freight convoy in the remote desert. Comfort sets a trap for the bandits, and the story culminates in a wild gunfight with the Cahuenga Gang.
