Bullets and Bitter Harvests

Matthew Slade, Book 2

Gunslinger Matthew Slade and his friend, Captain Amos Harding, take up a plea for help from the fledgling wine country to the north. As soon as the two would-be investigators arrive, they find themselves up to their spurs in trouble.

Slade learns that the Napa Valley’s primed like a powder keg to blow over a dispute between a winery, a cattle ranch, and the railroad. What are the stakes? Land, pride, the loss of one man’s woman, and the love of another’s wife.

With every person lying through their teeth and primed to kill, Slade and Amos have their work cut out for them.
