Danger at every turn...
The frontier of the early West is a place of danger, lawlessness and corruption.
Yet along the Southern trails, there is silver to be found, nestled in the great hills.
And in these dark and desperate times in an untamed land, people will do anything they can to get their hands on a fortune.
Men will kill for less than a handful of gold, and no one lives long by taking chances.
Whilst riding along a lonely and desolate trail, drifter Lanner encounters a dying man with a priceless secret - a map containing the location of the fabled El Dorado silver mine.
The dying man bequeaths the map to Lanner, but possessing this knowledge puts Lanner in grave danger.
Upon riding into a nearby town, Lanner is immediately treated with suspicion and contempt.
It's not long before several attempts are made upon his life, all with the aim of seizing possession of the priceless map.
Can Lanner escape this band of outlaws and find the legendary mine?
Or will he be outnumbered?
El Dorado Trail is a breathtaking adventure of the Wild West's fabled history - the perfect choice for fans of Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey.
'A thrilling read' - Robert Foster, acclaimed author of The Lunar Code.
