FOOL'S GOLD: Fiftieth in a Series of Jess Williams Westerns (A Jess Williams Western Book 50)

Jess is on the hunt for his next prey, Britt Hanlon, after leaving the newly named town of Williamstown, Texas, formerly known as Hades. He was about to give up on Hanlon and move on to the next man on his hunt list when he finally finds Hanlon and another wanted man in Wickerville, Texas.



Ed Treadwell, a wealthy man who owns the Gold Palace Saloon in Wickerville, offers him a job as his personal guard. Jess turns the offer down and friction begins between the two. Jess starts finding out that things aren’t quite the way they appear in Wickerville, but he has no proof of any wrongdoing. He starts asking questions and that leads him to the town of Sundown and George Rustenburg.



Rustenburg is a wealthy business owner in Sundown and when Jess visits the town, he finds out that one of the men on his hunt list, Watt Gainsforth, is working for Rustenburg as a guard at his gambling establishment. Jess kills Gainsforth and has to travel to the county sheriff’s office in Butterfield, Texas, because the marshal of Sundown refuses to pay the bounty on Gainsforth.



Jess is quickly making both Treadwell and Rustenburg nervous for some unknown reason that piques his interest even more. The more questions he asks and the more he delves into the business dealings of the two wealthy men, the more trouble he seems to find himself in.



As he rides back and forth between several towns, he seems to find trouble in every corner and he has the distinct feeling that all the while, someone is trailing him.
