Bloody Merchants War
Book two in the Valediction for Revenge series.
Featuring the adventures of Jethro Spring, a fugitive wanted for killing a US Army Major responsible for brutally murdering his parents.
Setting: Lincoln County/Southeastern New Mexico.
Time: August, 1877 - July 1878.
Cast: Poor farmers and ranchers gripped in bondage by an iron triangle of crooked merchants, an oppressive military and a corrupt Territorial government.
Jethro Spring is ambushed by events that spiral the unwilling young fugitive into a conflict without clear distinctions between good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy. Eventually he chooses sides, but was it the right choice? What of Billy the Kid? John Chisum? Susan McSween?
Is there, in fact, a Santa Fe Ring?
