A Pinkerton's Promise Bud Marshall

A good man killed in cold blood, a wild town at the edge of the known world, a woman searching for truth... They say there's no law out in Bowdie, California. But Morgan Gentry is in town, and he's not one to suffer fools and their dishonorable acts. After the war, most men did whatever they could to get away from the death, the violence, and the destruction of everything they once held dear. Some fell to drink; others fell for women. Morgan Gentry? He joined the Pinkertons. All he wanted was a chance to do a little good in the world and bring order to the men and women out in the lawless lands of the West. He expected outlaws. He expected the sweltering heat and the gold-rush crazy fools he might have to lock up or put down. But he never expected Grace Cannady, walking up to him straight away and demanding swift justice for the death of her father. A formidable woman, Grace was a sight smarter than everyone else in Bodie. Everyone around her was pushing to sell her father's estate, but she knew something else was at work. And what's more, she knew her father's death didn't come naturally. It wasn't long before Morgan realized a link between the ruthless broker who employed him and Grace's missing father. The men in this town were far more cold-blooded than Morgan ever imagined-and unraveling this brutal murder might put his new life on the line.
