Melted Spoons

By Garrett De Rose

London, 1873: Inspector Benjamin Sinclair has been summoned by the United States government to investigate a series of murders in West Texas. Aided by his mysterious companion, he finds himself woefully unprepared for the dangers of the American frontier. Followed by a dark past and even darker secret, he sets out for the sleepy town of Menard. Traveling by steamboat, rail, carriage and horseback--The eccentric, mild mannered detective finds trouble leaving the quiet life behind. As if the danger wasn't enough, his journey is further complicated by the weight of his broken heart. With a silver teaspoon as the only evidence of their love, Benjamin scours the edges of life and experience for his beloved. Vast prairies, jagged canyons and sun drenched deserts ahead, he soldiers on--despite only being armed with his walking stick. In a land where problems are often solved by the barrel of a gun, the Inspector must ask himself: Is there room for polite society in the wild west?
