Black Diamond Western #28

Black Diamond encounters a pair of silver thieves on the road and discovers they're actually Emily Foley and her father, who've been driven to crime after the ruthless King Logus murdered Emily's father and seized their silver mine. As Black Diamond learns the truth about Logus's reign of terror across the territory—from stolen claims to murdered prospectors—he must decide whether to turn them over to the law or help them reclaim what was taken from them.

Black Diamond, U.S. Marshal, rides into the Muwaka Hills to investigate a deadly legend—a monstrous cougar that's claimed the lives of trappers and prospectors across the territory. When a survivor staggers into town with a harrowing tale, Black Diamond begins to uncover the truth behind the creature's reign of terror, and discovers a pattern that points to something far more sinister than any beast. With his horse Reliapon at his side and his deputy Bumper in tow, the marshal sets a trap to expose the real danger lurking in those treacherous hills.

Black Diamond and his loyal partner Bumper race to stop Sioux Sam Dancer's treacherous scheme to plunder the legendary Lost Mine of San Saba—a sacred Comanche treasure that Sam has coaxed Chief Hollowleg into helping him steal by orchestrating brutal raids on frontier settlements. As the two-gunned hero closes in on the conspirators in the remote San Saba country, he'll have to outgun greed itself to prevent a bloodbath and keep the mine's ancient curse from claiming more lives.
