Publisher's Synopsis
Wanted: Sam Bass introduces the daring exploits of Paul Colt's Great Western Detective League. In the lawless expanses of the late 1800s West, these bold crime fighters rival the infamous Pinkerton Agency, taking on the most treacherous outlaws and impossible cases.
Sam Bass's infamous reign of terror began in 1877 with a staggering twenty-thousand-dollar stagecoach heist, quickly followed by a sixty-thousand-dollar train robbery. Desperate to stop Bass and his ruthless gang, Wells Fargo and the Union Pacific Railroad turn to rival detectives. Enter David J. Colonel Crook and his maverick band of law enforcement professionals whose unconventional methods specialize in crossing jurisdictions no one else can. Among them is Briscoe Cane, a cunning and deadly bounty hunter tasked with capturing Bass, and Beau Longstreet, a Pinkerton agent who uses his charm and wit to extract information from even the cagiest of sources.
As Cane relentlessly dogs the gang's trail, Longstreet gathers intelligence from his network of female informants. With a fortune in reward money on the line, the two detectives engage in a high-stakes, winner-take-all hunt, culminating in a bloody showdown in a dusty Texas town. Amidst the gunfights and peril, though, Cane and Longstreet forge an unexpected alliance, proving that even in the wild West, camaraderie can bloom in the unlikeliest of places.
Join the Great Western Detective League on a relentless adventure filled with danger, deception, and dynamic duels in pursuit of one the most dangerous outlaws and desperados in the West.
