Cinders
By Tuttle, W. C.
When a powerful railroad magnate’s private car stalls in the heat-blasted reaches of the California desert, boredom, jealousy, and a careless signal set off a chain of comic misunderstandings. At lonely San Rego station, lovesick cowboy Slim Simpson finds himself tangled between a suspicious sweetheart, a flirtatious heiress, and trouble rolling down the tracks. Blending Western humor, railroad adventure, and brisk 1920s magazine storytelling, “Cinders” delivers a lively tale of romance, mistaken motives, and frontier quick thinking.
