Albert Einstein is probably the most influential scientist and greatest physicist of the twentieth century. He revolutionized our ideas about time and space and is best known for his theory of relativity and his equation E=mc^2, which explains the relationship between energy and mass. By age 30, he was considered by many to be one of the world's greatest scientific thinkers.
Haines Crawford was simply trying to find company records to use in his attempt to get corporate officials to release more funding for his field operations of the American Outdoorsman Club. Instead, what he uncovered was an embezzlement scheme, which led to two murders and an attempt on his own life by a hired Mafia hit man. Marge Spence, wife of one of the owners of the Denver based Club, is found hung from the balcony in her home, and thought to be the result of an apparent suicide. A few months later, Beth Taylor, executive secretary for club president Damien Price, also dies in a suicide jump from the third floor patio of her exclusive Westside condominium. Crawford is warned of the contract on him by a friend and business associate, Alphonso Martinez, who is an ex-lieutenant of the Mexican mafia, now trying to go legitimate as Haines is befriended by Detective Mark Fellow of the Denver Homicide Division and used as an ally with an alibi for his investigation. Detective Fellow builds his murder case against the three club owners, with their embezzlement as the motive and that each man, without an alibi, had the opportunity. But, he still has no hard evidence to link either of the three to the killings. Haines and his wife, Marsha, take refuge on one of the Clubs West Texas ranches and are offered protection by its owner, Terry Whitehead, and his ranch hands, but the couple find they have fallen into the perfect trap for their pursuing assassin.
At fourteen years old, Josh Craven had no idea that his daily practicing a quick draw with his father's new Navy Colt would some day lead to killings and a reputation. He'd picked up the gun to ward off the boredom of living on the desolate plains of west Texas in the mid-l800s. Little did the fourteen-year-old know that in the next ten years there would be four men dead as a result of his swift, deadly aim, and he had no idea he'd be chased over half of the Lone Star State by a ruthless gunslinger. Then there would be the Garza brothers, who needed information from Josh before they killed him. Nor would he have ever dreamed of developing a life-long friendship with wrangler Louie Reininger, a storyteller personified, and...then there would be Laura, and a horse named Socks.
