From acclaimed author Peter King comes a new historical mystery featuring Jack London, famed adventurer and author of The Call of the Wild, On the infamous docks of San Francisco's Barbary Coast, Jack follows a trail of bloodshed and murder to the legendary gambling halls-where he finds a unique ally in Wyatt Earp.
Generally I prefer my historical who dun its to use original characters rather than actual historical personages but the author pulls this off rather well. Its a well plotted, credible, and engaging read. Jack London makes a pretty good main character in his persona as a somewhat down at the heels knockabout who takes on a variety of odd jobs to support his writing habit.
