A brand new Caleb Johnson adventure from Charles Ray! Caleb Johnson and his wife, Flora, are traveling to Denver to buy items not available in the stores of Bear Creek when, outside the mining town of Tucker’s Flats, Caleb sees four men about to lynch another man. He doesn’t know what the man might have done wrong but, to Caleb, it’s clear that the four men are not officers of the law and he hates mob justice, so he intervenes and chases the would-be lynch mob away. The almost-victim, Sam Kane, is trying to organize workers in the mines of Tucker’s Flats to get better working conditions, but the mine owners, led by Malcolm Bostwick, are opposed. Bostwick has hired a gang of professional gunfighters to intimidate the miners and is willing to resort to murder to get his way. Their mission to Denver is forgotten as Caleb and Flora decide to throw their lot in with the miners as they stand up for their rights.

I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
