Mountain Demons

Intervention saves James "Spud" Thompson, a longtime cardsharp, from certain death at the gaming tables of the Last Stop Saloon. A guardian angel leads him to the door of The Phoenix Inn and Restaurant in Saguache, Colorado. Thompson has been scheming, cheating and conning his whole life. He is coerced into finding a new path. Hard work and new friends provide a venue for reformation.
The newcomer fits into the new routine. He's tabbed a hero after saving the life of another worker. Still, he is uncomfortable. No matter what he does, the demons of his past haunt him. Soon he realizes the temptations of civilization are too much for him to bear. He and his friend, Will Bennett, head deep into the San Juan Mountains to begin new lives as mountain men.
In the Valley of the Elk, they find tranquility but not peace. Several of the valley's inhabitants are not happy to see them. Again, Thompson finds himself at a crossroad and the choices he must make could have deadly consequences.
