Deadwood gulch

William W. Johnstone

Large print - 2011

Two years after Wild Bill Hickok made his mark on Deadwood, Scratch Morton and Bo Creel make their own. Their job is guarding gold shipments from the mining camps -- shipments that keep getting hijacked by a gang called the Devils of Deadwood who carve pitchforks into their victims' foreheads. With Thanksgiving approaching, Scratch just wants to carve a turkey with a good-looking widow woman at his side. But when the U.S. Army decides to lend a helping hand, all hell breaks loose. Scratch's woman is taken hostage, along with several of the soldiers. Now, Scratch and Bo have to go after missing gold, hostages, and a band of vicious killers - all while a winter storm is howling . . .
