by W. C. Tuttle
In the rough mining town of Micaville, a ruthless assayer schemes to seize a poor prospector’s claim, setting greed and frontier justice on a collision course. Into this tense landscape rides the Piegan Kid, a laconic drifter whose sharp instincts and unexpected code of honor unsettle every plan laid before him. Blending dry humor, Western grit, and high-stakes deception, W. C. Tuttle’s tale captures the hazards and absurdities of ambition on the desert frontier.
