Clay Nash 11

For seven long years, Will Dodd had held a grudge against Wells Fargo. After he’d lost his home in a right-of-way dispute, he figured they owed him plenty. So when he heard that the company was about to transport a precious golden eagle worth a quarter-million dollars all the way to New Mexico, he made up his mind to steal it. It wasn’t just for the money, though the money would be sweet. He wanted to make Wells Fargo look foolish to the whole damn’ country.

Besides, he suspected that Wells Fargo’s top operative, Clay Nash, would be involved somewhere along the line, and he had a powerful hate for Nash, too …

So he assembled a bunch of merciless killers and went after his targets with single-minded determination … and from that day forward Wells Fargo’s Santa Fe run would be marked by blood and bodies!
