Murphy's Law - Wolfe, Ethan J

. .

Résumé :

Murphy, the Regulator, returns to action

in a thrilling and challenging frontier forensics

mystery.

Murphy's plans for semi-retirement

with his newfound love, Sally, are put on

hold when he is called back to action by his

boss, William Burke, who is a special assistant

to the president. Counterfeit money is

turning up in banks all across the west and

could threaten the American economy and

stock market if left unchecked. Leaving

Sally at his Washington home, Murphy

heads west to pick up the trail of the counterfeit

money.

The investigation spans months,

during which time Murphy encounters

Mary Kate Ritchie, a rising star in the cattle

industry, outlaw Johnny Ringo, and a mysterious

Japanese diplomat named Kyoto,

who claims to be learning the American

cattle business firsthand in the west. Along

the way, Murphy is also aided by his old

friends Apache Chief Ten Moons and his

son, Two Bears.

Chasing his quarry across unforgiving

mountains and deserts, Murphy is at his

deadliest as he closes in on the man behind

the scheme that threatens a nation.
