Trailin’
About this ebook
Upon his father’s death Anthony goes into his father’s private study and finds two pictures and a little wooden box. The wooden box had contained the pistol that his father oiled every day in preparation of this event. One of the two pictures was of a woman – his mother! The other picture was of a ranch house with two mountains in the distance.
These are his only clues to hunt down his father’s killer.
