About this title

Synopsis

Back in the USA, Roper is faced with the loss of his girl, the loss of his inheritance, and possibly the loss of his life. With his friend Styles, he begins a whirlwind journey down the big river, on trains, by carriage, on horseback, and even a steamboat. Good news and bad breaks chase them from surprising directions. Will they find new homes or shallow graves? The third Roper novel is the fastest, funniest, and most dangerous one yet.
* * *
He promised her he wouldn’t get killed, but the word that he’d broken that promise outran him, and now he’s got to catch up. Ride with Roper and Styles as they face assassins on trains, killers in dark alleys, and gunfights in Memphis and New Orleans. The action never stops, and success can turn into disaster quicker than they can turn around. Once or twice, they get help from the police. Once or twice, they don’t.

Whether it’s a poisonous beauty in St. Louis, a gun-toting teenage girl in Indiana, a crooked sheriff near Louisville, deadly gamblers in Memphis, or the police in New Orleans; mystery, suspense and danger follow wherever they go. With a little bit of luck, and some unexpected help from old and new friends, they might just win their way to safety. The hardest part is keeping up, as the rapid adventure of this third Roper historical novel winds its way down the mighty Mississippi.
