Train Wreck
(2024)(The first book in the Dakota Parker: Cowboy Detective series)
A novel by Scott Harris
The first adventure in a brand new Western series from Scott Harris!
Dakota Parker is a young man, alone in the world, who was fortunate to have survived fighting in the Civil War as a teenager and then even more fortunate to have survived his years in the Laredo State Penitentiary—a survival made even more difficult by the fact he was hated by the warden and targeted for death more than once.
But now he’s out of the pen and starting a new life as a cowboy detective.
His first job has him facing a couple dozen trained killers who have taken over a town in Colorado in order to build a new railroad. One man stood up against the thieves and killers and was murdered for his effort. His widow has turned to Parker, because no one else would help—not the town, not the law, not even the Pinkerton Agency.
Dakota Parker doesn’t know any other way, so he stiffens his neck, oils his gun and prepares to do battle. The odds are stacked against him, but then, they always have been.
Genre: Western
