The Reluctant Pinkerton

by Robert J. Randisi

Overview

ONE LAST JOB

Former Pinkerton agent Talbot Roper has a begrudging respect for his old boss. When Allan Pinkerton dies and his sons send for Roper to attend the funeral, he has no choice but to oblige them. But Pinker- ton's sons, who now run the agency, want Roper to do more than pay his respects. They have a dangerous assignment that no man on their payroll can handle.

Now Roper is headed to Fort Worth, Texas, where someone is sabotaging the Union Stockyard company. Undercover to infiltrate the industry, Roper knows that the men he's up against aren't just smart; they're deadly. And he'll need to remember everything Allan ever taught him to finish the job . . . and stay alive.

"[Randisi] doesn't waste a phrase or plot turn...his prose is supple and never flashy."—Publishers Weekly

"The Western genre needs more writers like Randisi, an original voice who's still going strong"—Bookgasm
