The Black Gold Mob: Capping a Crime Gusher (A Western Adventure Series) - Paperback

by Mark Greathouse (Author)

Oil runs slick past the Nueces Strip.

In 1899, Texas Ranger Lucas Dunn, Jr. is sent deep into dangerous territory-where black gold flows, and blood flows faster. Under orders from legendary Ranger Captain John Hughes, Junior heads to Dallas to work with a U.S. Deputy Marshal and infiltrate the Irish Mob, fresh out of New York and hungry for control of Texas oil.

Mob enforcers. Hired guns. A crooked banker. And the ruthless grip of political power. To bring them down, Junior must go undercover-gambling his badge, his name, and his life. It's a deadly game, and the stakes turn personal when a threat reaches Cassie, the woman he loves. Junior may carry his father's name, but every move he makes carves out a legend of his own.

Justice doesn't bend for oil or blood. Sometimes, to root out the rot, you've got to cut straight through it.
