About the book
Preacher is not a hired assassin, but when a wagon train is viciously attacked on the Sante Fe Trail, he cannot turn down the offer from a St. Louis businessman who is willing to pay for justice. It is not the stolen gold or the missing body of a crew member that convinces Preacher to accept the job. It is the suspect’s beautiful fiance, Alita Montez, who believes her innocent boyfriend has run off to clear his name.
Preacher is unwilling to leave Alita alone on the dangerous Sante Fe Trail, knowing she could fall prey to Comanche or coyotes. In order to rescue her and recover the gold, the renowned mountain man must navigate a treacherous path, facing kidnappers, backstabbers, and bounty hunters, all while outwitting the formidable Styles Mallory, the toughest frontiersman around.
