Overview

A true breakout from the Carson State Prison occurred on September 17, 1871. This newest story in the Will Toal series finds that the escapees include a mix of true historical outlaws along with fictional prisoners holding a grudge against our leading Carson Valley rancher. They burn his home, steal his horse, and come close to murdering his family in their sleep. Will sets off with good friend, Dale Paris, determined to apprehend the escapees. The trail leads south through the badlands of Nevada to the mining fields of California. The historical chase ends in a gun battle on the watery shores of an alpine lake set at the base of Mt. Morrison deep within the Eastern Sierra crevasse called Diablo Canyon. The massive shootout would give its name to the waterway now known as Convict Lake. Will Toal won't stop until he brings those prisoners who threatened his world back to Carson City in chains following their . . . . . BREAK OUT.

Author Information

J.L. Crafts was raised on the outskirts of a very large city in Southern California. Thankfully, back in those days, the very distant outskirts of that city still included open spaces and small ranches. As a young boy, he worked wrangling horses on one of those ranches learning to rope, ride, and train one of the most magnificent animals our planet has to offer. Those early years created a lifelong connection with not only horses but with the West of the 1800's. College led to law school followed by over thirty years of trying cases to juries up and down the state of California. Speaking to juries in a simple directness, he did what he could to elicit facts and arguments wherever possible through stories of life in the saddle and open spaces. He now spends his days creating those stories on the page and enjoys every minute of it.
