Red River Showdown
Über dieses E-Book
Clint Adams has received a mysterious invite to ride the Misty Morning, a riverboat for gamblers and cardsharps. Staked by a saloon-owning friend, he decides to turn his lucky feeling into some much-needed cash. Along the way, he saves pretty Mia Hayley, who is so confident that the worst is over that she bets Clint five hundred dollars she'll win more money on the Misty Morning than he will.
But something isn't quite right aboard the ship. The atmosphere is edgy, the card games are unfriendly, and the boarding passengers look more and more like cattle about to be slaughtered. This riverboat—making no stops until its final destination—just may be a floating con game, set up by a crook who gathered as many suckers as he could to cheat all at once. But Clint Adams is no sucker...
