Silvertooth

by Ryan Shukis

In the fall of 1867, Diego Ortega stumbled upon the most promising case of his detective career. After spending the past eleven months in the mythical town of Mundosa. The town offers a case to Diego that could finally grant him a transfer with honors to Denver only if he solves the case. Despite spending the past eleven months getting banned from every bar in Mundosa, thanks to his debilitating drinking problem. The town is skeptical if Diego can help them. As the answers come to Diego’s quagmire of a case, notorious criminal gangs arrive in Mundosa—gangs known as the Daylight Spiders and the Sunset Vipers. Diego is familiar with the Sunset Vipers. A year prior, Diego was in Texas on contract to locate the Sunset Vipers. The ledger of spies, which he stole from their leader, Redeye Raven, is still in Diego’s possession. The Sunset Vipers have been hunting Diego for almost a year. That is one of the few reasons Diego has been hiding in Mundsoa. A rumor is spreading that the Yellow Plague is traveling north to Mundosa. A lone formidable warrior notorious for spending the past two years devouring cities from Columbia to northern Mexico. As the walls close in on Diego, he solves the case, only to discover more problems have reached their doorstep.
