Springer's Fortune (A Cole Springer Mystery‪)‬

Cole Springer returns for another outing in “Springer’s Fortune”. After ripping-off the mob in “Springer’s Gambit”, ex-secret service agent and saloon keeper Cole Springer has money and time on his hands. He doesn’t mind the money but the extra time has him restless and bored. But that’s about to change. Rodeo Cowboy and part-time grifter, Chance Barclay, needs a stake and has a plan to relieve Springer of the extra cash. With the help of mob soldier, Bobby Frank Ganetti, a Denver hood with a violent streak as big as the Rockies, Barclay attempts to shake down Springer by threatening to go to Mob bosses and reveal how Springer amassed his fortune. Blackmail. Pay or die.

Besides the thugs, the Treasury Department is also very interested in how the Springer acquired his sudden wealth so the Feds send out the FBI and a determined Colorado detective to tail Springer from Aspen to Denver and back again. If that isn’t enough, Springer must dodge a hit from a female assassin with a grudge against him. An assassin who has an unbroken record of successful hits.

Springer is now scrambling to keep his money, his freedom and save his life. He sets out to scam the thugs, keep the Feds guessing and dodge the bullet with his name on it. Springer is now a target.

But Springer isn’t an easy mark. He’s nimble, tough and hard to scare. And harder to kill.
