Description
San Diego, California was no ordinary boomtown in the 1880s. Its allure lay not in gold or silver, but in cheap land and the promise of an oceanfront paradise. This was Scam Diego, where hucksters, con artists, and snake oil vendors preyed on unsuspecting settlers. The town's proximity to the Mexican border added to its lawlessness, providing a haven for rustlers, ex-Rebels, and banditos. Amidst this chaos, two men found themselves at odds: U.S. Marshal Cradoc Bradshaw and San Diego Times reporter Nicholas Pinder. Their friendship had once been strong, but now they competed - Bradshaw with his sawed-off shotgun and Colt single action Army revolver, Pinder with his quill pen. As the bodies of Scam Diego's movers and shakers began to pile up, one question remained: which former friend would track down the killer first?
