The Killing Look - Paperback

The war is behind him. But the fight is only just beginning.

L.D. Cade thought the war was behind him. Drifting west with a worn coat and a faster draw, he lands in 1870s San Francisco-a city of gilded mansions, backroom deals, and blood in the gutters. A job guarding a smooth-talking real estate tycoon looks like a lucky break. But nothing in this city is what it seems.

Beneath the champagne and smoke, something darker is at work. As Cade moves through the Barbary Coast's chaos, Russian Hill's velvet facades, and Chinatown's guarded alleyways, he's pulled into a web of power, lies, and violence.

And two mysterious women, one a shadow from the past, the other a spark in the dark, might just be the key to everything... or the end of him.

Everyone wants something. No one plays fair.
