Luke Dawson: Wells Fargo Agent

By Denny Andrews

Luke Dawson winds his way through Dakota Territory, making the stagecoach routes safe. After the murder of his mentor, Wild Bill Hickok, and a confrontation with the murderer John Varnes, there is a bushwhacking against Luke. Discouraged yet determined, he moves on. Three years later, after a long journey, Luke goes undercover as a Wells Fargo agent into Durango, Colorado. A series of stagecoach robberies and the disappearance of a local miner have Luke on high alert. The miner's beautiful daughter Laura has captured Luke's interest, spurring him forward with more determination. While looking for a band of stage robbers and Laura's father, Luke runs into his nemesis, John Varnes. Through his search for the band of thieves, Luke discovers that something suspicious is happening in the local Wells Fargo operation that can tie together the thieves, the disappearance of the lost miner, and Varnes. When the truth is revealed along with Luke's true identity, the real action begins.

Enjoyable western!

A very encouraging first book! This is a fast-paced read with lots of action and an incredible knowledge of guns. The author is very clean (no foul language or sex and the violence is not gory), which I really appreciated. The only downside was that Luke is able to get out of danger too quickly too often, but that's a minor complaint. A great book to read on the plane or on vacation when you want to escape. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
