Refugio's Gold

Take a hidden stash of gold, two beautiful women, a Marshall and some vaqueros. Add some horses and guns, a Mexican army, some Apache Indians and a very wild ride, in this recipe for a fast and furious adventure.

SPUR Award finalist, Major Mitchell, brings you another good old western novel, and the third book of a series.

Clay Best had agreed to take Teresa into Mexico and get the gold Refugio had hidden. He talked Julio Garcia into going, but it was quickly turning into a journey where Julio's gun might not be enough.

"Refugio's Gold is a gritty, authentic and well spun Western yarn. It's a fast-moving tale fraught with suspense and danger as Clay and Teresa Best venture from Texas to Mexico in search of Refugio's gold. Before his death, Refugio told Teresa where he hid a large stash of stolen Mexican gold. Not only would they have to endure the hardship of the rugged desert, but they would have to deal with the Apaches, the Federales, and the banditos...a very entertaining read." Gary Crawford, author of Trepidation Trail

"Gold, lots of gold, free for the taking, all you have to do is ride to Mexico and get past Apaches, Yaquis, Mexican banditos, ex-revolutionaries, gringo outlaws and the Federales. Clay Best believes he can ride from Carrizo Springs, Texas to the gold and back. His journey is one long, hard ride." Steve Haak, author of One Last Ride
