Assassin's Witness — Paul Colt

Two powerful railroads clash in a dispute over the Royal Gorge right-of-way to serve a valuable silver strike in Colorado. The dispute pits railroad magnet Stephen Atkins against reclusive financier Eli Chorus, various Pinkerton agents, the Knights of Labor, and Don Victor Carnicero's El Anillo crime syndicate assassins. When Great Western Detective League operative Beau Longstreet breaks up the Chorus assassination he becomes the assassin's witness. Don Victor vows vengeance. El Anillo operatives threaten Longstreet's life and the life of his love. Assassin's Witness careens from violent confrontation to diabolical treachery in a deadly hail of bullets shrouded in mystery and tainted in loss.
