Sundance 32: Gold Strike (A Jim Sundance Western) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Riding through Nevada, Jim Sundance came across one of the biggest gold strikes the Territory had ever known. A lucky break, the gunman thought ... until he went to nearby Orono to stake the claim. Millionaire miner Jackson Selby, who ruled the mining town with an iron fist, got wind of the half-breed's strike and wanted in on the action. But Sundance wouldn't sell, even though he knew the consequences. So Sundance and a band of die-hard prospectors and drifters dug in at the mine and prepared to face Selby's marauders. Death would determine the ownership of this gold mine!

Autorenporträt

Peter J. McCurtin was born in Ireland on 15 October 1929, and immigrated to America when he was in his early twenties. Records also confirm that, in 1958, McCurtin co-edited the short-lived (one issue) New York Review with William Atkins. By the early 1960s, he was co-owner of a bookstore in Ogunquit, Maine, and often spent his summers there.
McCurtin's first book, Mafioso (1970) was nominated for the prestigious Mystery Writers of America Edgar Award, and filmed in 1973 as The Boss, with Henry Silva. More books in the same vein quickly followed, including Cosa Nostra (1971), Omerta (1972), The Syndicate (1972) and Escape From Devil's Island (1972). 1970 also saw the publication of his first "Carmody" western, Hangtown.
Peter McCurtin died in New York on 27 January 1997. His westerns in particular are distinguished by unusual plots with neatly resolved conclusions, well-drawn secondary characters, regular bursts of action and tight, smooth writing. If you haven't already checked him out, you have quite a treat in store.
McCurtin also wrote under the name of Jack Slade and Gene Curry.
