Galloway's Gamble by Howard Weinstein

Gambling brothers Jamey and Jake Galloway ride trails, rails and riverboats on a rollicking odyssey through the Old West, ranging far and wide to seek their fortune at poker tables from New Orleans to 'Frisco. While Jamey prefers being a live coward to a dead hero, brash big brother Jake rarely backs down from a fight.

When their Texas hometown is threatened by land-grabbing cattle king Wilhelm Krieg and shady banker Silas Atwood, Jamey and Jake return to face their most desperate gamble yet: Can they cook up a scheme to outfox ruthless scoundrels and save Serenity Falls from ruin&mdahs;without getting themselves killed?

Inspired by high-spirited classics like Maverick, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Silverado and The Sting, New York Times bestselling author Howard Weinstein tells a timeless historical tale about the never-ending David vs. Goliath battle against greed and corruption - as relevant today as in 1873
