Description: "Crispin Mayo was a reckless young brawler who&#x2019;d left his tiny fishing village for the vast American frontier. Headed west to join a railroad construction crew, he came upon an isolated station&#x2014;and a mystery. The shack was abandoned, but fresh blood spattered the floor, and the telegraph was clicking away unattended. When Mayo stepped inside and put a hand on the telegraph key, he had no way of knowing the course of his life would change forever&#x2014;and that he would become entangled with a band of Civil War veterans with a score to settle against the government&#x2026;and a feisty young woman who&#x2019;d risk anything to save the people she loved. Cris Mayo, who had never backed away from a fight in his life, was about to have his courage put to the ultimate test" -- Amazon.com
