Sierra Trail

A Western Thriller by C Lowry

⛰️ A mountain mining camp.

☠️ Men disappearing one by one.

And somewhere high in the Oregon wilderness, a system built on murder is running like clockwork.

When drifter Eldridge Sample rides into the isolated mining settlement of Sierra Creek, he expects hard weather, bad coffee, and men chasing gold in frozen water.

What he finds instead is fear.

A miner named Leland Fitch vanished after refusing to sell his claim to the powerful Sierra Creek Consolidated Mining Company. Before him, another prospector died in what the company called an accident.

Too many accidents.

As Sample digs deeper, he uncovers a ruthless operation stretching from the frozen Oregon Territory to the boardrooms of San Francisco — a conspiracy fueled by greed, corruption, and a fortune in hard-rock gold hidden beneath Sierra Creek.

Now powerful men want him gone before he exposes the truth.

But Eldridge Sample isn’t easy to bury.

❄️ Snow-covered mountains.

🔫 Ruthless hired killers.
