About the Book

This tale of historical intrigue opens on the Gettysburg battlefield during the third day of July, 1863 from a Confederate soldier's view in Pickett's Charge. It next takes the characters to the gold fields of the Idaho Territory before returning with some of them to Wisconsin. Third (and longest) book of the Longshot trilogy, LONGSHOT FROM DARKNESS is a ride through tough, beautiful places among men as tough as the land they pass through. It is 1863 and the gold is not making its way east to the governments of the USA and the CSA. Why not? Ambitious politicians point fingers with one hand while stealing from the till with the other. There is violence in the streets making folks unsure and upset. Can a few good men sort this out? And can anyone tell the good guys from the bad guys? Pinkerton agent Rob Finn and his sidekick Lonnie Walters return to Bannack to get the gold supply again flowing to the Union. Sheriff Henry Plummer is on hand to assist, as is Treasury agent Emry. Gold from an unexpected source enters the picture, changing Finn's plans. Yet few things are as they seem. Few people are who they pretend to be. Every man is different from his neighbor; many have secrets. The good men will always rise, or will they? Picking his way through the possibilities will take time. Time waits for no man, and Rob is no exception. When will he find out the real culprit(s), and will he be in time to keep the gold from falling into the wrong hands? What readers are saying about LONGSHOT FROM DARKNESS: "The tale is a good one, but it is the story shaped by the characters, both previously met as well as newly encountered here, that infuses the book with life and excitement. Many scenes make the reader feel like you're there." Amazon Reader "Many interesting characters..... historically accurate of the time....well written.....well done." Amazon Reader "Being an avid fan of western novels and having read many authors works, your Longshot series ranks with the best Mr. Baker.....if not the best....." Amazon Reader
