Mississippi Gambler: A Classic Western

The Mississippi River made fortunes overnight—and buried just as many men beneath its muddy waters.

Luke Gannon drifted from river town to river town living by cards, instinct, and nerve. On the crowded gambling decks of the great steamboats, a man could win a fortune before midnight—or end up floating face down by dawn.

But when Luke uncovers a crooked scheme involving stolen gold, river pirates, and a powerful gambler who controls the Mississippi through fear and murder, he finds himself hunted from New Orleans to Memphis. With killers on his trail and betrayal waiting at every dock, Luke must gamble everything on one final hand.

Under the glow of riverboat lanterns and the shadow of a full moon, only one man will walk away holding the winning cards.

MISSISSIPPI GAMBLER is a fast-moving river adventure packed with danger, deception, steamboats, and hard-edged frontier justice in the classic tradition of the 1950s rack-paperback novels.
