The Killing Look

The Civil War is behind him. But the fight is just beginning. The Old West explodes with action in "a cracking page-turner you won't want to put down" (Tasha Alexander, New York Times–bestselling author). L.D. Cade thought the war was over. 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. "[An] assured thriller . . . Rhoades does a good job illuminating the racial and ethnic tensions of the period. With any luck, this is the start of a series." ―Publishers Weekly "I inhaled this book! It's a wild ride through a fascinating place and time." ―Alexandra Sokoloff, bestselling author of The Huntress series
