He carries an assassin’s nickname. But now this Pinkerton is the North’s last chance to keep its gold… Missouri, 1862. Rob “Longshot” Finn knows his grief won’t bring his wife back from the grave. Determined to put the tragedy behind him, he heads to St. Louis to set up a new Pinkerton operation. Under pressure to secure the Union’s vital war funding, Longshot travels the trail West with none … the trail West with none other than a young Buffalo Bill.
Battling unfamiliar terrain and savage predators, Longshot and his band discover the wild frontier doesn’t play by the rules. And with liars and spies working for both sides of the war, even Longshot’s unwavering belief in his government begins to falter…
Can he protect his principles, safeguard the gold, and keep his name off a fresh tombstone?
Longshot into the West is the second standalone book in the gritty Longshot historical Western series. If you like dusty settings, intriguing plot twists, and characters pulled from history, then you’ll love Keith R. Baker’s homage to the Civil War-era West.

I really enjoyed it. It has good action. It is clean.
It was slow in the action department. Not enough story for me.
