Author Description

In "Strangers Talk or Die," Jeff Parker comes to an agreement with Fat Sam Scoby, agent for the Skeleton Creek Cross-Bone rustling syndicate, to smuggle gold bars worth $44,000 across the Mexican border. Scoby has stolen the gold from the syndicate. But once Parker is in the United States, he arranges for the gold, now disguised as railway freight, to be shipped to a man named Ed Bellows, and by this means saves himself from being killed by Scoby -- who intends to share with no one -- when they meet again.
