The Photographer

De: William Black

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Stone Tobin’s life on the frontier has never been short of hazards. But nothing can keep him from what’s important: caring for his adopted son, Clyde.

After years of supporting himself and Clyde through his talents of wet-plate photography, Stone’s sense of justice takes them off the beaten path when he and Clyde stumble upon a woman in deep trouble.

Hazel Allen. Soon after learning of her husband’s role in her parents’ untimely deaths, she was abducted by an outlaw gang.

There’s a steep reward for her return – but her powerful husband, Wesley, hopes she’s killed before she can reveal his secret life and implode his sinister ambitions.

Community, family, morality. These things are just distractions in Wesley’s path toward desert domination.

Despite being in chains, Hazel’s desire for justice hasn’t faded. Soon she finds herself the target of a rescue mission by Stone and Clyde, and, in turn, the photographer and his boy find themselves in the sights of Wesley Allen and his desperado allies.

Determined to teach his son the most important lesson of his life, Stone doesn’t back down – liberating Hazel from her husband’s insatiable greed is just another step in fighting for a better world for Clyde.

But the fight has gone beyond doing the right thing – now it’s about protecting his loved ones from the rage of Wesley Allen.

Can Stone and Hazel overpower Wesley’s ambition to carve his name on every grain of Arizona sand? Or will Stone’s final photograph be of their fall into the blood-filled canyons?

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
