Confederate Gold

by Cameron Judd

He was looking for a woman. What he found was gold, greed...and murder.

Enoch Brand never met a fight he couldn't resist. His wife Minnie had the same problem with men. Then Minnie finally ran off from Enoch, while the two were headed home to Tennessee. Now Enoch has gone charging after her-running straight into a gun battle, a one-handed ex Confederate soldier, and a storm of lies, betrayal and greed that all comes down to one a treasure of gold that may or may not exist. Somewhere in the dark Ozark hills Enoch is sure there's a fortune waiting to be claimed. The only trouble is, it's killing those who want it most. . .

Reviews

[Michael Wiggins · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was a real letdown. I have enjoyed several of Cameron Judd's other novels, and I have never read anything like 'Confederate Gold,' in which he seems determined to make the reader detest his hero. He wasn't capable of saving anyone or anything except a wayward wife who deserved little in the way of saving. His lack of foresight or understanding of human behavior doomed his poor dog, and his hesitant nature resulted in unnecessary death, abductions and injury. Also, even his wife had a better understanding of the use of found gold than he did. Yuck.

A fun read. Reminds me of Breckenridge Elkins Series by Robert E. Howard.
