The Greenback Trail

The Trailsman #180

by Jon Sharpe

Skye Fargo's search for a cache of phony money worth its weight in blood leads him to a small piece of hell--the once-peaceful Wyoming town of Starkill. Now, aside from dodging hot lead in a place overrun by terror, the trail leads him from Starkill to a wasteland both worshipped and feared, where nature has gone wild and men gone mad with greed.

A gorgeous young woman and her elderly father are aided by Skye Fargo not knowing that they are counterfeiters with a map to dig up a long buried cache of millions of dollars of counterfeit bills. Of course Pop spilled the beans in prison and a band of outlaws are in hot pursuit looking to get the map and the moola. Fargo ends up in the middle of this mess and has to use his investigative skills to figure out what everyone is after and why. So yeah, like most Adult Westerns its a detective novel set in the Old West with a couple of sex scenes thrown in. The writing, dialog, and plot are all great and, although there is no author name attributed The Trailsman novels were written by some of the most respected work-for-hire authors in the business at the time. I’ve enjoyed all of ‘em so far.

A trail of bad money, a government agent, a gang of ruthless killers and an eccentric artist play a part in a scheme that ensnares Skye Fargo. How they all tie together is a puzzle he must solve before time runs out. The Trailsman entertains in this tale, as he usually does.
