Finding Silver (Ira Beard, #3)
About
Ira Beard hunted Joaquin, the mountain bandit. In the Civil War he chased Confederate rebels. Now he’s settled down with a family and business, hoping for some peace and quiet. He has seen San Francisco through riots, fires, earthquake and war. It’s time for a change.
Then a banker sends him on a mission to inspect a new silver mine down in the Mojave, where not many men will go. The job sounds like a nice break from routine. What Ira doesn’t expect is a Paiute curse, swindlers, double dealers and murder. The problem comes down to how to get out alive. Later, he won’t even talk to his son about it.
This is Ira Beard book 3.
Praise for this book
If you like the wild west with an aging, lovable hero, this is for you. I always enjoy entering into Bart's world of good, bad, and all the redeemable souls choosing their mixed ways forward. Culturally sensitive and spiritually provocative.
You enter the life and times of Ira Beard, whose San Francisco connections take him to the edges of the Mojave to check on a potential silver mine. Bart weaves a tale encompassing all manner of characters, and you enjoy getting to know them and the trials and tribulations they endure -- or create, in the old west.
