The Trail of the Double Eagles

Rating:
Summary: Review by Allen P. Bristow, author of THE PINKERTON EYE
Review: Foster's tale is a combination turn of the century western, romance and mystery. His attention to detail is excellent, particulary firearms, period photographic technique and geography. In a pleasant change from the usual western plot his hero, Ray Rapp, is an itinerant photographer...not a cowboy!
The primary setting for the story is the Colorado Rocky Mountains, centering on Creede and Wagon Wheel Gap. This rugged country is well known to the reviewer because the conclusion of his PINKERTON EYE is set there and Foster describes it well. Finding the double eagles through a clue in the lines of an old song cleverly ties together the multiple plots at the conclusion of this interesting story.
