Longarm in Virginia City

Longarm #62

by Tabor Evans

CITY OF GOLDEN BULLETS

When Longarm got to Virginia City, there wasn't a trace of the master train robber he'd been sent to grab - but there was enough other mischief to keep him busy for a while.

The mining town was jumping with its kind of 20-carat trouble. Longarm had to deal with corrupt lawmen and a gang of sex fiends so depraved they made his own tough skin turn pale. Then there was a criminal who just wouldn't show up when he was supposed to. All Longarm needed to fill out his week was a curious lady reporter a lot less demure than she seemed.
