The chase is on and the stakes are high in this western in Ralph
Compton's USA Today bestselling series.
They're ex-cowpunchers looking to strike it rich--and not having much
success. When they deliver a wagon of scotch to a shantytown saloon, the
bartender drops dead before paying. No sooner do they take over the bar
as payment than it burns to the ground. The cloud above Arlo Wells and
Dallas Holt has no silver lining...
They finally get a break when they receive a message from an old friend,
along with a map. It seems the grizzled prospector finally hit the
mother lode in the Superstitious Mountains, only to die shortly
thereafter. His last wish was for the two boys to find his beloved
nieces and share the claim with them--easy money, except for a few minor
problems...
Like the despicable stepfather who's got the nieces, a gang of hired
gunmen, and the other half of the map and the Apaches who'll slaughter
anyone daring to tread the ground of their sacred mountains. For Arlo
and Dallas, this lucky break may be the worst thing ever to happen to
them...
