Calvin Carter, Railroad Detective, Adventure

When a group of bandits derails a train and murders an engineer in cold blood, it's not the loot they're after. It's the coffins. Debonair former actor turned railroad detective, Calvin Carter, is on that train. He zeroes in on the object of the robbery. From the clues left behind, corpses weren't the only things in the caskets. And a sniper's bullet silences the only witness. Now, Carter may be the only player in this twisted script who can solve this Wild West mystery. But will he get to the truth in time, or end up in a pine box himself?

Actor turned detective Calvin Carter stands on his favorite place-a stage-when armed bandits attack. Carter and his partner, Thomas Jackson, foil the robbery, and the surviving gunman snitches the name of the mystery man, who hired the gang. Both men soon die, taking their secrets to the grave. Turns out, the entire robbery was an elaborate distraction. In the melee, a master thief with a unique calling card swipes a prized artifact: a macuahuitl, an Aztec sword, dating back to the Spanish conquest of the New World. But, when Carter and Jackson are assigned to track down and recover the sword, those men who know about the macuahuitl start dying, one by one. If Carter and Jackson aren't careful, they will be next.
