Canyon Song
“Sitting behind his big, black walnut desk, Ward Cameron crumpled up the telegram, his fury escalating with the pounding of his heart.
So Singletary had wired the office of the United States Marshal requesting an investigation, had he? Too damned bad he didn’t realize the marshal’s deputy, Norris Foster, who’d received the message, was Cameron’s associate in another mining venture down near Tucson. The mine might have played out early and cost them both a pretty penny, but a bond of greed ha...d formed between the two entrepreneurs. No way was Foster going to begrudge Cameron his chance to earn a buck now — particularly not with Singletary helping him earn his old partner’s gratitude, perhaps even a cut.
Foster’s assistance might cost him dearly, but Cameron was still grateful for the warning, among other things. Foster added a cryptic line about delaying things a bit. That must mean that he had “lost” Singletary’s first request.MoreLess
