Ambrose Bierce and the Ace of Shoots (Ambrose Bierce Mystery Novels) Paperback - 2006
by Oakley Hall
'Oakley Hall is a master craftsman. . . . Intrigue will keep you turning the pages.' Amy Tan
From Thomas Pynchon to Richard Ford, Amy Tan to Diane Johnson, the list of devotees of the Ambrose Bierce mystery series continues to grow as the larger-than-life hero tracks down California's most malevolent criminal minds. In this rough-and-tumble romp through gritty Old San Francisco, Ambrose Bierce and his faithful associate Tom Redmond are on the trail of a celebrity sniper. Amid seduction, revenge, wing shots, ambuscades, knife throwers, free-love colonies, a friendly opium parlor, and a letter from Queen Victoria, Ambrose Bierce and Tom Redmond must turn up the true killer.
'Oakley Hall has found the perfect Holmes of the West in Ambrose Bierce, and an ideal Watson in the guise ofTom Redmond. Ace of Shoots is beautifully written and devilishly entertaining as much fun as a Wild West shoot-'em-up extravaganza.' Mark Childress
First line
Just before the Colonel Studely Wild West Show tragedies, because of an attack of asthma and the importunities of a young poetess, Ambrose Bierce had exiled himself to the Putnam House hotel in Auburn, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
