Hell On Wheels - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

It was known as a "Hell on wheels"-a traveling city of sin that moved along with the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad. And it was one gambling, whoring community that Clint Adams and his buddy. Rick Hartman, wanted to check out for themselves. When they climbed aboard the rowdy train, they unwittingly stepped into the scene of a gruesome murder-and Rick Hartman was the prime suspect. Now, Clint has to fight the makeshift law with his own brand of justice... and a cold round of sizzling bullets.
