The lure of California captivates visitors Z99 the low deserts of Death Valley to lush national parks the dream town of Los Angeles and the lands of the gold rush
*A Special Limited Edition Signed Hardback* A Dexter meets Deadwood mystery set in the biggest, baddest boomtown of the 1880: San Diego, California. The attraction wasn't gold or silver but cheap land, the promise of an oceanfront paradise where it never snows and rarely rains, and the too-good-to-be-true deals offered by local real estate merchants. In the wake of many bona fide settlers came the hucksters, con artists, and snake oil vendors--so many flimflam men (and women) that those who got duped called the town "Scam Diego." And in the middle of it all, two former best friends, U.S. Marshal Cradoc Bradshaw and San Diego Times reporter Nicholas Pinder, compete to catch bad guys--Pinder with his quill pen or Bradshaw with his sawed-off shotgun and Colt single action Army revolver. Their competition heats up when someone starts killing the town's movers and shakers. As the bodies pile up, the question becomes which of the former friends will track down the killer first?
