Trouble in Tomahawk Gap: A Gunny Mac Noir Detective Novel

by Steven Walker

Staff Sergeant Henry Running Bear was a Navajo Code talker and is back home recovering from war injuries and tending peacefully to his sheep. The Marine Corps and Guadalcanal are still fresh in his memory.

But the war won’t leave him alone; a sinister force is after him.

He sends his wife and son deep into the Navajo nation for safety and tells her to send a message to my Marine brother, Gunny Mac. “I’ll make my last stand at Tomahawk Gap. Semper Fidelis.”

Hang on to your Stetson as Mac battles eighty miles of unforgivable terrain, weather, and Nazis who want what Henry knows…and Mac deader than the rainbow trout he had for breakfast.

They survived the fury of Guadalcanal, and now Mac will have to knock down the gates of hell to save his friend!

It is a story of loyalty and honor between two Marines…one now a private detective and one a Navajo sheepherder; an intense, gut-wrenching trip through history, with characters that will leave you begging for more.
