Synopsis

For one battle-weary Union spy, the war is not over. Grant Bonner lived in the shadows during the war and is eager to put those years behind him. But he learns his hunger for a fresh start comes with a steep price when he agrees to delay his plans and complete one last assignment. But he’s not been told everything about the mission. His routine surveillance goes terribly wrong and puts him in the crosshairs of a cunning and accomplished military leader. Left to die on a rain-soaked field, Bonner survives and embarks on a mission of revenge and redemption. A riveting thriller that evolves from a seemingly-unrelated ambush of a small patrol of Union soldiers in the hills of Pennsylvania. Bonner is forced to run for his life on a journey that takes him to the frontier town of Bitter Creek, Wyoming, where he uncovers an elaborate conspiracy. To stop it, he must enlist help from an improbable source and risk everything in a lethal confrontation with the demon of his past.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Tom Rizzo considers American history a storyteller’s paradise. He believes writers who write about the West have a responsibility to bring historical adventures to life in a way that keeps readers entertained about what Theodore Roosevelt once described as “the great leap Westward.” His obsession with the history of the American Frontier began when he started reading stories by Louis L’Amour, Matt Braun, Elmer Kelton, and Jory Sherman. TV and motion pictures played a significant role too. The Lone Ranger, Durango Kid, Randolph Scott, Paladin, Robert Conrad and Ross Martin in The Wild, Wild West, and Clint Eastwood and other characters in so-called Spaghetti Westerns. The American frontier represented an extraordinary time and place in American history, populated by colorful, larger-than-life heroes and rogues who crisscrossed the high Plains and beyond. As a storyteller, blogger, and speaker, and naturally curious amateur historian, Tom writes a blog about this particular time in the nation’s history by utilizing fictional techniques to tell real stories about the characters and events of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In addition to his novel, “Last Stand at Bitter Creek,” Tom completed a three-volume non-fiction series about the American West. "Tall Tales from the High Plains & Beyond" features dozens of stories about Old West lawmen, outlaws, and other intriguing characters and events. “Last Stand at Bitter Creek” represents Book One of Tom's Frontier Thriller Series.
