The owner, Hanna Stewart, has worked the desert spread with her young daughter ever since her husband went for a ride and never returned. For years she's been victimized by the corrupt sheriff of Lost Mine, Vic Moseley. Turns out Moseley's evil intentions don't stop with Hannah Stewart. And things are fixing to get downright bloody. After a lifetime in the saddle, Sam's about to ride not only the hardest trail of his life - but possibly the last....

Down on Gila River

This is a good western l. I liked the storyline. Sam is getting old and going to retire. He wants to find a little town and open a little restaurant. He runs into all kinds of trouble. He makes friends with a lady and her daughter living alone. Then he runs into a crooked sheriff. (Vis Moseley). He gets forced into finding a stolen pony. He makes friends with an Indian and they team up against the crooked sheriff and his main boss. It sounds like a lot but it's real easy to follow. This is a well written book. Lee Aaron Rosen did a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
