Badman from Bodie and the Gold Rings: Plus Badman from Bodie and Ghost Uprising - Paperback

by Lariat Quinn (Author)

Welcome to Bodie. It's a rowdy town deep in the Sierra Nevadas, overrun with gold miners, gamblers, and general riffraff, with a dead body every day before breakfast.

Into the town rides the Badman, with no name, no memory, no past. Just a draw that makes lightning look slow. As the Badman finds himself taking down villains of all types, he discovers a purpose. But it's when he visits the angry Paiute tribe, victims of the greedy miners, he learns a terrible curse has been put on Bodie. The way to peace is drenched in blood. And even a bad man has a code of honor.

More than a century later the town of Bodie is abandoned. Some say it's haunted by the ghosts of the town's inhabitants. But the hills are rich with gold and uranium... will you dare the curse of the Badman from Bodie?
