Ghosts Of The Pony Express
(2025)(The fifth book in the Jack Hardesty/ Kit Sloan Western Adventure series)
A novel by Jamie Mason
The American Civil War is twenty years in the past. And yet its ghosts still linger…
During its single year of operation, the Pony Express paved the way for its own extinction by delivering correspondence regarding the transcontinental telegraph that would soon replace it. The Express also delivered checks and bank notes. So when a check, written in 1861, is cashed at a bank in Utah in 1883, Marshal Jack Hardesty and his sidekick Kit Sloan are called in by Western Union to investigate. Facing the unenviable task of tracing down mail that went missing two decades prior, both men find themselves entangled in the deep roots of a conspiracy reaching back to the days when John Wilkes Boothe plotted Lincoln's assassination. With renewed unrest shaking the Reconstruction South and a Presidential visit to Texas looming, it is a race against the clock as well as against the deadly agents of a Confederacy determined to rise again.
Genre: Western
