Clay Nash 8

THE FIRST IN A SPECIAL TWO-BOOK STORY FEATURING THE TOUGHEST WELLS FARGO AGENT IN THE WEST!

Wells Fargo troubleshooter Clay Nash was on his way to solve one crime when he became embroiled in another. Someone knocked over the Wells Fargo office and stole a cool ten thousand dollars in hard cash. By a strange coincidence, the trail seemed to point to Nitro Mantell, the outlaw Clay had been planning to go after for the Squirrel Creek bank robbery. But somehow the pieces just didn’t seem to fit. How could Nitro have been in both places at once? Who slipped Clay a Mickey Finn and who strangled the saloon girl who could have supplied all the answers?

Clay was determined to unravel the mystery any way he could. But he quickly found himself hampered by an unwanted companion—the beautiful Liz Garrett, who was after the contents of the Red Rapids heist for her own very personal reasons
