Book excerpt: Flame erupted from the barrel of Bob Alcott’s revolving Colt shotgun and the outlaws on the trail in front of him scattered. He watched blood spread in a circle around the body on the ground as the outlaw died. Death and Bob Alcott were old friends. Bob Alcott had it all. He had struck it rich in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California in the gold rush of 1849. Then he had met the girl of his dreams. Unfortunately, the girl already had a husband and Alcott discovered he was dying of consumption. Taking his Colt revolving shotgun, he rode south into the Santa Lucia Mountains. There he discovered secrets that would change every aspect of his life.
