यो इ-पुस्तकका बारेमा

USA Today bestselling author:Before it was the City of Angels, it was a frontier town filled with devils . . .

When Frank Morgan gets to a town called Los Angeles, he can see the forces gathering around him. For the Spanish landowners, wealth is measured in cattle on the open range. For hardnosed oilmen, a fortune is in the ground—in the form of shining black crude . . .

When blood is spilled on the sun-seared land, Morgan allies himself with a beautiful widowed rancher—even as he cuts a deal with an ambitious wildcatter. Morgan is not trying out treachery. He's just trying to get to the truth about a cycle of violence that's about to explode. But when he discovers that a third party has entered the fray, Morgan knows the rules have changed and justice will only be forged with bullets.
