Johnny Mime - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The year is 1884, and a snake oil salesman, a prospector and a courtesan take on the unscrupulous mayor of a silver mining town.

Arthur O’Keefe, a charismatic performer with a case of bottled cures, arrives in the boomtown of Calico expecting to turn a quick profit. He finds a community poisoned by fear, held in the iron grip of its blind but all-seeing Mayor Smeaton. When a series of brutal murders— disguised as accidents and suicides— begins silencing anyone who asks the wrong questions, Arthur must join his unlikely allies to expose a deadly conspiracy that lies deeper than any silver vein.

Drawing on historical events and real-life characters from the legendary town of Calico, this is a sweeping story of justice, retribution, and the defiant spirit of the American West. Author Sean McDevitt's novel was over 30 years in the making.
