As flame to smoke [large print] : a hell on wheels murder mystery / Rod Miller.
The building of the Central Pacific toward Promontory Summit in Utah Territory and the completion of the transcontinental railroad was accompanied by a string of mostly temporary towns known collectively and individually as "Hell on Wheels." Two Finger Pete tended bar at O'Sullivan's Saloon in those towns. At Corinne, the last of the Hell on Wheels towns, he partnered up to build the Promontory Saloon, a more prominent establishment in a city with big plans. But one morning a body was discovered in an upstairs room--the murdered, mutilated body of a young woman. Who killed Lily? The town marshal, the county sheriff, and deputy United States marshal Porter Rockwell work together and apart and sometimes at odds to find the killer. With little evidence, questionable clues, several suspects, multiple motives, doubtful alibis, and unexpected complications, unraveling the riddle proves a challenge.
