Wheeler, Richard S. Sam Flint. #bk. 3

Read by John Lescault

Sam Flint is a dedicated frontier journalist whose only weapon is the truth. But when he pulls into Silver City to set up his crusading weekly newspaper, he fears he's made a mistake. The overpopulated town is being run into the ground by the corrupt editor of the Silver City Democrat, Digby Westminster. A friend of merchants and flatterer of politicians, the manipulative scoundrel has grown fat ridiculing the miners and working girls while making sure they are ruthlessly taxed into destitution. Flint believes strongly that an honest journalist must challenge the Democrat. But how can he launch his own paper when the whole town is in his rival's pocket? "Strikes the right balance of suspense, humor, drama and credibility…This conclusion to the trilogy has pizzazz. Shrewdly plotted and refreshingly entertaining, it is by far the best of the three." "Cullen gets into the fast-paced story and does an excellent job giving [it] life."
