Crackshot: Troubled Waters

May 10th, 1869 marked the momentous day when the  Central Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific Railroad joined in Promontory, Utah and became the Transcontinental Railway. No longer was the West a hazardous and costly journey made only by the most adventurous or the most desperate. With first class train cars to take them  there, the wealthy began to migrate as well, starting what was called the "Nobility Ranches" and belief in their "Manifest Destiny" to be fulfilled. Crackshot is a story of one such ranch and the bold men and women who created it. 

In Troubled Waters, the second volume of the trilogy,  it seems things could not go better for the Crackshot partners, bred in the bone westerner Harry Clemens and the high society Virginians, Morgan and Justin Ashworth.  Horses are trained and sold at profit, herds increase and the ranch crew is top notch. Their hard work truly pays off.  When tragedy strikes the partners are required to show their true mettle. Evil luck seems to follow them.  Will perseverance and love be enough to pull them through? From established working ranches, high class brothels and society parties this Wild West adventure continues
