Aristotle Scrimshaw had left his wife and children on their small farm in Wisconsin to pick up some cash in the bustling goldfields of Virginia City. He had done well, buying up claims and collecting gold worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. Angelica Ramirez had left her abusive husband to become the most prosperous madam in the territory. And Professor Randolph Figaro, a Mississippi gambler, had struck his own kind of paydirt in Virginia City as well -- but his luck had turned bad. When all three need to leave the encampment, they face a cold, bone-jarring stagecoach ride across the plains toward Salt Lake -- a trail populated with ruthless road agents eager to plunder the wealth of the wary and unsuspecting alike. So when Scrimshaw plans a midnight run through the bandit-infested wilderness, he himself calls it a fool's coach ...A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
