Produktbeschreibung

Time and place? The Republic of Texas, at mid-19th century

Who and what? Texas Ranger Jim Reade, and his Delaware blood brother, Toby Shaw tasked with solving puzzles, finding the missing, guiding the clueless, and protecting the innocent!

"So," Toby observed, an hour and a half later. "What have you seen, from this?"

The two of them stood, a few steps from a crude scarecrow cross-frame of poles, from which hung an extremely ragged linen shirt, formerly belonging to Elisha Reade a shirt from which some small patches had been cut to mend items of a newer vintage. But there was enough of it remaining to serve, hanging from the cross-pole thrust through the sleeves, as a target for Jim's trusty Paterson revolvers ... A good few shots had been at close range. As close as the range in which Jon Knightley had exchanged or claimed to have exchanged revolver-fire with his wife.

"A curiosity which I had already suspected," Jim replied. He was tired. His shoulders slumped, and his ears rang from the frequent report of his revolvers. "Jon Knightley murdered his wife his latest wife..."

Lone Star Glory continuing the adventures of Texas Ranger Jim Reade and his blood-brother Toby Shaw of the Delaware, in the Texas of legend!

Autorenporträt

Celia Hayes has always been passionately interested in the history of the American frontier. She was brought up in an eccentric, baby-boom family which formed the basis of a memoir, Our Grandpa Was an Alien. She earned a degree in English, served for 20 years in the US Air Force, and another ten years as a secretary and office administrator in various large and small business enterprises. Currently, she is the owner of Watercress Press, a small local subsidy press specializing in local history.

Her first novel, To Truckee's Trail, grew out of a fascination with the California emigrant trail. The Adelsverein Trilogy, and its companion novels - Daughter of Texas, Deep in the Heart, The Quivera Trail, and Sunset & Steel Rails drew on an interest in the German settlement of the Texas Hill Country, and the dramatic sweep of history in the Lone Star State. She has also authored a collection of adventures intended for younger readers, Lone Star Sons, set in the time of the Republic of Texas. With her daughter, Jeanne Hayden, she has also co-authored Chronicles of Luna City, and The Second Chronicle of Luna City, a collection of comic short stories set in present-day small town South Texas. The third volume of Luna City stories is due out in November, 2016, as well as another historical novel about the California Gold Rush -- The Golden Road.
