      About Debbie Mumford

      Tom Easton patrolled the weathered boards of the Breckenridge railway station platform. Tall pines and whispering aspens rose behind the narrow gauge steam engine, the whole scene framed by craggy mountains capped in glacial snow. The blazing blue of the Rocky Mountain sky put such a shine on the white caps, Tom’s eyes watered just glancing at them. Despite the acrid tang of the steam engine, the late summer day smelled fresh and clean.

      It was good to get away from the stink of Leadville. Too many unwashed miners crowded that booming town. Breckenridge was a thriving community, but for all its recent growth this end of the High Line was still wholesome as a newborn lamb in comparison to Leadville. Ever since that lone metallurgist had realized the heavy, black sand that had defeated the gold panners was actually a tell for silver, the mountains around Leadville had exploded with prospectors. And fortunately for Tom and the Pinkerton Detective Agency, where opportunity thrived, grift and greed followed.

      The Pinkerton Agency had been good to Tom. His personal moral code closely aligned with that of the company, making his work deeply satisfying. His current assignment, guarding the High Line railroad, was light duty.
