Blood on Silver — George G. Gilman

COLD
He trusted silver. It was all he could rely on. Except himself. And the Comstock Lode was one of the richest silver strikes the world had ever seen. So Edge was there. So was the Tabor gang -- sadistic killers led by a renegade Quaker. The voluptuous Adele Firman, a band of brutal Shoshone Indians, and an African giant were there, too. Too bad. They learned that gold may be warm but silver is death. They didn't live to forget Edge.
