Synopsis

In the depth of a cruel High Lonesome winter comes a cryptic message for Smoke Jensen. The letter tells of skullduggery by gold barons, railroad magnates and Chinese tongs in San Francisco. Smoke knows only one person in the city by the bay: the well-rounded, open-natured Francie, mistress of one of the town's most notorious pleasure palaces.

Smoke once rescued her from raiding Cheyenne, but now Madame Francie is mysteriously dead...and Smoke's arrival in San Francisco is less than welcoming. Then, on the waterfront, he learns of a plot by the wealthy, the mighty, and the deadly to expand their stronghold over the region's gold-rich lands. Beating a trail into the High Sierras, Smoke recruits a band of angry prospectors, ranchers and farmers for a final showdown that could be the end of Smoke Jensen...

The bad guys are wimps and give up, the descriptions are nowhere near as vivid and detailed as usual and the ending is very abrupt and leaves the reader a bit unfinished. What I especially didn't like was the weird almo......more

Goodreads review by Mike Calabrese on October 10, 2022

Two good stories... In this book. I enjoyed it. But, at times it reminded me of JUrassic Park movies. The good guys keep getting in trouble, then getting out of trouble, then getting into trouble... You know what I mean. Good book but too many trouble spots.......more
