Only the Strong Survive When a faceless New York investor orchestrates a hostile railroad takeover, he unleashes a tidal wave of chaos across the West. His weapon of choice? Over a million dollars in counterfeit bearer bonds, crafted by a ruthless crime syndicate and peddled by a mysterious beauty with a knack for beguiling bankers. As the Texas & Pacific Railroad teeters on the brink, they enlist the notorious Allan Pinkerton to unmask the culprits. But the banks, bleeding from the fraudulent scheme, call on the Great Western Detective League to track down their stolen fortunes. Colonel David J. Crook taps his top men-Briscoe Cane and Beau Longstreet-to lead the charge. Alongside Pinkerton's sharp-eyed Reginald Kingsley and the dangerously seductive Samantha Maples, they race across the untamed West, from bustling railways to desolate deserts, in a high-stakes pursuit. As Kingsley and Cane match wits with a phantom bondsman, Maples and Longstreet find themselves in a rivalry both fierce and flirtatious, all while staying focused on their quarry. But the syndicate won't go down without a fight. Ambushes, assassination attempts, and ruthless betrayals follow the detectives' every move, leading to a heart-pounding showdown from Yuma, Arizona, to the dusty streets of El Paso. Prepare for a relentless ride with the Great Western Detective League as they navigate treacherous territory, outsmart cunning criminals, and face down ruthless outlaws. The chase barrels toward a thrilling conclusion, where honor, grit, and gunslinging skills are all that stand between justice and chaos in the unforgiving West.

Paul Colt's critically-acclaimed historical fiction crackles with authenticity. His analytical insight, investigative research and genuine horse sense bring history to life.

Paul's sweeping account of the Indian Wars, Grasshoppers in Summer, is both a Western Writers of America Spur Award honoree, and the winner of a Will Rogers Medallion. Friends Call Me Bat was also a Spur Award finalist, and Boots and Saddles: A Call to Glory received the Marilyn Brown Novel Award, presented by Utah Valley University.
