Something for Nothing

by Robert Richter

“Something for Nothing is set in the swampy lowlands of coastal Nayarit. Its locales are perceptively observed, the background history entirely plausible, and the dialogue faithfully echoes the voices of its motley crew of colorful characters. Seeking revenge for the killing of his drifter buddy Gabby MacLean, and hoping to be the first to find the treasure, Cotton Walters steps into a world of danger. An entertaining read from beginning to end!” --Tony Burton, publisher of Sombrero Books, Author of Western Mexico: A Traveler’s Treasury Lake Chapala Through the Ages: An anthology of travelers’ tales.
