"Jackal's Gold" by Kenneth Fowler - SCARCE 1st EDITION Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 1980 by Doubleday (A Double D Western) - 192 pages - book is in NEAR MINT condition; DJ is EXCELLENT. When Brad Gamble dies suddenly, leaving $30,000 in gold, there are many would-be claimants, but only one true heir, his wife Myra. Yet Gamble's old partners Dolph Enger and Caine Jaritt set up an elaborate scheme to wrest the gold away from Brad's wife when she comes to Virginia City. Only Myra isn't really Myra -- she's an imposter traveling with her younger brother, pulling off a con game of her own. In pursuit of their own greed, Dolph and Caine ride shotgun with "Myra" across the treacherous plains to Salt Lake City, conniving to split the gold between themselves. Meanwhile, all around them are the rest of the jackals -- outsiders who know the gold is on that wagon, and will stop at nothing to get it. It would be a miracle if the wagon actually arrived in Salt Lake City, and even more of a miracle if anyone lived to tell the story. There is only a very tiny chip on the DJ on the edge of the back flap, but this SCARCE 1st EDITION is still in EXCELLENT condition.
