Vince Roberts

"Where are you now?""East of Phoenix, in the mountains. It's damp outside. I'm a little cold.""I know. I can feel it when you're cold. Why are you in Arizona?""I got picked up by a group of Mexican chili farmers. They were a lively bunch.""Are you still hurting?""Not so much. I am managing to forget.""Will you be alright?""I am ok""I thought of you the other night. I dreamt of a hawk flying, heading hard into the wind, struggling to gain altitude as it bucked the storm. The rain beat at the poor creature and the hail finally made it seek shelter. Was that you?" 1. For over forty years, G.

After rescuing the daughter of a Southern Colorado land owner, Vince Roberts is thrust into the middle of a 18th Century mystery. From the 16th to the early 19th century, Colorado was a major pathway for Spanish gold caravans, but only about a third of all the gold transported ever reached the Gulf Coast. Where did the lost shipments end up? Vince Roberts is about to find out. In the Mid 1700's a transport led by Carrasco Rodriguez carried 12 chests of gold coins from Santa Fe New Mexico to Florida. They got as far as southern Colorado, never to be heard from again. Advance a hundred years. From the 1850's through the Civil War, Colorado experienced another form of gold rush in the form of mining in the mountain boom towns of Blackhawk, Cripple Creek and Leadville. In the eastern states however, the Civil War rages on and the Confederacy's coffers were empty. A desperate plan to raid the goldfields of Colorado was hatched by men looking to keep the Confederate cause alive. How did these two seemingly unrelated eras interrelate? If Vince Roberts can stay alive, he's going to find out. 1. For over forty years, G. Allen Clark has established himself as an accomplished writer, entrepreneur, and aficionado of vintage items.

He was 35 or 36, he couldn't remember. His memory was still a little shaky. If he counted his life backwards, he would eventually remember. Tonight he felt closer to 95. The sounds of the deep night were sometimes deafening, sometimes peaceful - like tonight. Crickets, picking up where the frogs and the katydids left off, conjured up a crescendo outside the wide-open French doors. The serenade would go on for most of the night. Somewhere in the distance, a dog barked angrily, and then yelped as a cat it cornered, let out a deafening howl and took the dog's nose off. He sat naked in the wicker chair, atop the newly reupholstered cushions.It is said, that right after love, revenge can be the most powerful motivator for man. After the death of Vince Roberts friends and the near death and rescue of Vince himself, the obsession for the newly minted Roberts investigation organization is the capture of its number one quarry Kinsey. However, revenge work two ways and armed with a new name and a fortune in gold coins, Kinsey has other ideas. In his mind, the only way he is ever going to be free is by the calculated elimination of his pursuers. 1. For over forty years, G.
