If you are one of those people that likes to take a ride down the dusty trail to the exciting days of the Wild West then this is the book for you. In this new adventure Murray Pura takes us to the State of Missouri where we are on a stagecoach headed to St. Louis.No one would have guessed the two laid back men on the stagecoach were employees of Wells Fargo. No one would have thought the blonde-haired blue-eyed beauty sitting across from them was a crack-shot or that the preacher sitting quietly to the side had two guns hidden in his Bible. Someone should have told the Pittman gang it was going to be their unlucky day when they thought to rob this stagecoach.When the shooting started the Pittman gang didn't know what hit them it ended so fast. Everyone was excited, they had a huge reward to collect and the only one wounded was the man riding shotgun and he was going to be fine.Remington Holt and Amos Dewery are Wells Fargo Agents and not only are they riding the stages to help fix the problems with robberies they have been asked by President Grant to investigate a group of men known as "copperheads" that are upset that he was elected for another term. It seems there are some even willing to die for their cause to get rid of him. Will Remington and Amos be able stop their next attempt on the President's life?The beautiful Celestial Farr is all that Remington can think about, could she be as enthralled with him as he is with her? When she gives him tickets to the Presidential Gala where she is singing, he thinks she just might be. Are Remington's dreams going to come true?  Or does Celestial have another reason she wants Remington at the Gala?Mr. Pura is quite the writer; everything I have read by him has proven that to me. This book, though very short, is no exception to that. If you love Westerns, this book has it all... handsome Wells Fargo agents, shootouts with desperate outlaws, a plot to kill the President and all of this is tied up with a pretty bow of romance! ~sigh~  What more could you want? Thanks again Mr. Pura for the pleasure that comes from reading one of your books.
