Shotgun Slade

A.S. Batson purchased a mine for $40,000. She sent for Slade to help her prove the mine was salted and that she had been defrauded.

Slade finds himself in possession of a key that treasure seekers would kill to get back: the key to the Seven Emeralds of Quetzalcoatl.

Slade travels to New Mexico Territory to split open a land grant syndicate and expose the identity of the swindler behind it.

Slade unwittingly serves as a messenger of death, delivering a booby-trapped Spanish Box to a beloved banker, and must quickly clear himself by finding the real killers before the town's lynch mob musters its courage.

Slade's visit to an old friend turns deadly when some people will stop at nothing to steal a last will and testament entrusted to Slade's care.

Slade serves as bodyguard to primadonna performer Jenny DuPree, who is receiving death threats and a dwindling number of roses from an assassin who bills himself as her ultimate admirer.
