Solomon's Hand

Solomon MacLean was born for trouble, and the untamed West is eager to oblige. Weary of the monotony of his family's Virginia tobacco plantation in the bitter aftermath of the Civil War, Solomon MacLean's restless heart longs for something beyond the blue mountains. When he sets out for the American frontier, a rigged boxing match on the Ohio River docks strips him of everything. Armed with nothing but cunning and nerve, Solomon claws his way through the smoky gambling dens of New Orleans, winning a pair of pearl-handled Colts, earning a reputation as a card sharp no one dares cross... and making enemies no man can outrun. From the gaslit parlors of corrupt senators to the fog-shrouded streets of San Francisco, Solomon is drawn into a web of conspiracy, betrayal, and murder that stretches across the late 19th century American West. A stolen strongbox, a woman with her own vendetta, and a brother she thought she'd lost force Solomon to confront the price of the life he's built, and the lives he's destroyed along the way. Perfect for readers of Louis L' Amour and fans of literary western novels, Solomon's Hand is a gripping installment in the MacLean Brothers series, a tale where silence speaks louder than gunfire, and survival is measured not in victories, but in the courage to endure.
