Tom Sawyer and the Ghosts of Summer
12-year-old Matt Lively is obsessed with trying to somehow stretch time to make summer last indefinitely. Convinced he is living the ideal time of life—in Missouri, 1950, between the 7th and 8th grades—he longs to experience extraordinary adventures before he is forced to confront high school, and eventually, boring adulthood. Along with his best friends, Rob Linehart and Wally Carter, Matt begins the summer with pranks, problems and fun. A mysterious and ominous tramp, Thatcher, accosts Matt and Rob and tells them things he should have no way of knowing. As thatcher captures the boys’ attention, he invites them back in time to save a life or two and recover a treasure, but mostly to change history in a way that will preserve The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for posterity. Join Matt, Rob and Wally on their time-traveling adventure of self-discovery.
The Secret of Lodestar
Three bandits made off with $30,000 in gold and buried it in secret. When the gang leader is released from prison, ex-railroad detective Marc Charvein follows his prey to the hidden treasure–in a ghost town called Lodestar.
The Blaze of Noon
The blistering road through Arizona Territory was called the Devil’s Highway for a good reason. Even Apaches won’t travel on it during the deadly heat of August. And now Dan Mora knows why. First he nearly died of a rattler bite, then he lost all his gear, and he’ll be in even bigger trouble if he doesn’t soon find water. Hugh Deraux knows the same stifling thirst. Breaking out of prison was easy compared to this trek through the unforgiving desert. But both men are driven by more than thirst. They hunger for the riches rumored to be found along the dangerous trail. And nothing will stop them from claiming the treasure–not each other, not Apaches, not even…The Blaze of Noon…
Flying Eagle
Former policeman Jay McGraw is a messenger for Wells Fargo. While sometimes, boring, it’s steady work and Jay rarely misses walking a beat in Chinatown. But trouble comes his way when a gang of masked bandits blow up a bridge on the Central Pacific trail. Jay knows they re after his cargo. Wells Fargo could lose their heavily insured shipment and he could lose his cushy job. A dramatic escape via a hydrogen balloon belonging to a passenger puts Jay safely on the ground – in the middle of a deadly range war between cattlemen and Basque sheepherders…
Dakota Gold
Deadwood was aptly named. If you stuck with it and broke your back piling up that gold dust, the hold-up gangs would rob you blind. It was the toughest way to make a living — but Army deserters had no choice. That’s why ex-Captain Curtis Wilder was in Deadwood. Cathy Jenkins was there because she loved him. So naturally brother Wiley Jenkins had to stick around. And Matt Tierney just there.
Cold Cache
Kent Rasmussen, an officer of the North West Mounted Police, is leaving the force to return home to his mother and sister in Minnesota. While withdrawing his final pay from a bank in Windsor, he encounters Nellie Newburn, who is trying to withdraw the outrageous sum of $347,000. She approaches him and offers to pay him a large sum of money if he will escort her and the money safely home to her family: a lucrative offer he cannot refuse.
As they begin their travels, he learns about the cold cache – a vast sum of money and gold buried somewhere in New Mexico Territory by a group known as the Knights of the Golden Circle, who want the money to fund the creation of a new nation. Knowledge that Jesse James and other outlaws added to treasure with their ill-gotten gains piques Rasmussen’s interest even further. A short while into their journey, much to Rasmussen’s embarrassment, Nellie’s $347,000 is stolen. Rasmussen is soon caught up in the midst of a violent feud between the Claytons and the Newburns for possession of the cache.
Annie and the Ripper
1888, Whitechapel. Jack the Ripper terrorizes prostitutes and baffles Scotland Yard; 1888, London. Annie Oakley thrills audiences of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show with her expert marksmanship. The Ripper may have picked the wrong target in this fascinating retelling of the well-known case of Jack the Ripper… with a Western twist! A mentally unbalanced killer who slashes throats and eviscerates his victims is stalking the Whitechapel district of London’s East End. Whitechapel, with its odors of unlimed outhouses, cabbage, cigars, coalsmoke and fish; Whitechapel, with its boarding houses and casual wards, its impoverished working people, its prostitutes. Full moon, dense fog, shrill whistles from Bobbies on the beat; Hansom cabs, horses’ hooves clopping along wet cobblestones. The chills up your back as you look over your shoulder into the dark for the crazy Ripper with the long, sharp knife. This blend of fact and fiction will keep you turning the pages long after bedtime as the story unfolds in gaslit, Victorian London.
