Böcker av Billy Bodman

Dagger is finally in Santa Fe - the ultimate destination of his professional-gambling father who had unaccountably disappeared - but not before consistantly deterred from locating him by ever more violent methods, culminating in a near fatal bushwacking. He has a wide-range of skills, acquired at an elite military academy, and some influential friends in support. He finds himself up against some well-placed and antagonistic law-men and a cold-blooded gunfighter. Only by utilising all the well-taught aids at his disposal can he hope to confront his foes and learn the fate of his father. He has determination, he had persistance and a good dose of luck on his side, but will he find himself over-matched in a savage and unequal battle?

British Spymaster, the Earl of Tredomen, has always used his political intrigues to enhance his personal finances. Now that the Richleigh family are united once more making him cash-rich as a consequence, America becomes his sole aim where he is convinced that Civil War is a foregone conclusion. As a life-time defender of his country, he is aware that there are traitorous groups constantly plotting the downfall of the Government, and see the unrest in America as a way to attain their ambitions. He decides that the Richleigh family - intent on reaching the gold-fields of California - are perfectly placed to help him realise his plans. They are joined in the journey by Lady Rhiannon - now romantically linked to Daniel Richleigh - who is in partnership with the Earl in a banking venture. Younger brother Jonathan Richleigh goes along as a means of locating his sweetheart, Lady Bethan, who has been sent to America by her father to avoid their union. Before reaching California, they will experience political machinations, murder, commercial shenanigans and assassination, gaining friends but also malevolent enemies in the process.
