"It was a cool and breezy autumn afternoon in Denver when Deputy U.S. Marshal Long was urgently cal

So,starts of this January 2005 episode in the Longarm series. Three Federal Officers have gone missing in Nevada and Longarm gets the assignment to get down there and find out what happened to them.This seems to be a relaxing train trip from Denver;but during a short stopover in Laramie,things get out of control and Longarm gets involved in a real mess;when all he wanted was to duck into the White Dog Saloon for some Old Beaver rye whiskey and to stock up on some good cigars. After that diversion ,Longarm finally arrives in Reno,Nevada and eventually to the Comstock Lode and Silver City looking for the varmits who did in the federal officers.After being left for dead in a mine shaft,he finally finds his way to that old hellhole of Bodie,California.He has traced his quarry to this Old West mining town and the solution to the mystery. As an aside,this scene brought back some fond memories to me as I was there at dawn,on September 19,2005.We were looking for some rare birds.We found Sage Grouse,Brewer's Blackbirds and Mountain Bluebirds .What a beautiful sight of rolling mountain sides and not a tree in sight.As we searched the hillsides,outside town,you were very aware of what an exciting place this must have been at the height of its notoriety. The town has been restored,and at dawn it is a very eerie place,before any of the tourists arrived.What a forlorn sight is that string of gravemarkers anong the path on the hillside. A great place for any modern reader of Old West novels to visit and get the idea of what these old towns were like.Can't recommend a better time than in the stillness of dawn.
