Longarm #166

by Tabor Evans

Double eagles are double trouble when half a million dollars disappears from the U.S. Treasury Office in Grants Pass. Longarm comes to town to tackle the costly case - in which innocent lives are worth their weight in missing gold. Seems every citizen Longarm jaws with about the case ends up bleeding in the dust.

Following the trail of the smoking gun brings Longarm closer to the missing loot - and deeper into the scheme of a deadly killer. Now Longarm has put his life on the line, tracking a hard case desperado who doesn't mind killing a man for every dollar he stole.
