Gold Bullets - Paperback

by Charles G. Booth (Author)

John Peebles is retired and happy, content with his fireplace, his cat Polyandria, his niece Lucy, and his historical gun collection. Events shift after sharp-eyed dealer Nathan Hyde offers John a gold-mounted revolver with gold bullets, a Colt .45 once owned by gambler Alex Peterson. Peterson was rumored to have played a game of poker that 'cracked' the remote mining town of Torridity. That evening, John is summoned by phone to his close friend and neighbor, Andrew Ogden, but arrives to find a murder. Events quickly escalate, as Ogden's son, Jerry, (Lucy's fiancée) is accused of murder, and a hardened detective is set loose on his trail. John joins the investigation, discovering that what happens in the past never entirely disappears.

Gold Bullets was published in 1929.
