Nemesis

Forget Deadwood, Dodge, and Tombstone, the biggest, baddest boomtown of the 1880s was San Diego, California. The attraction wasn’t gold or silver but cheap land, the promise of an oceanfront paradise where it never snows and rarely rains, and the too-good-to-be-true deals offered by local real estate merchants. In the wake of bona-fide settlers came the hucksters, con artists, and snake oil vendors – so many flimflam men (and women) that those duped called the town “Scam Diego.” Abetting the crime and chaos was the nearby Mexican border, a convenient refuge for the rustlers, ex-Rebels, and banditos who floated back and forth across the unmarked frontier.

Caught up in this perfect storm are two men: a veteran U.S. Marshal and a brash newspaper reporter. Best friends growing up in frontier San Diego, they are now sworn enemies - all because of a woman. Having once cooperated to catch bad guys, they now compete – one man with his quill pen, the other with his sawed-off shotgun and Colt single action Army revolver. The competition heats up when someone starts killing the town’s movers and shakers. As the bodies pile up, the question becomes which of the former friends will track down the killer first?

Uitati de Deadwood, Dodge si Tombstone, cel mai mare si mai rau boomtown din anii 1880 a fost San Diego, California. Atractia nu era aur sau argint, ci terenuri ieftine, promisiunea unui paradis pe malul oceanului in care nu ninge niciodata si rareori ploua si ofertele prea bune pentru a fi adevarate oferite de comerciantii imobiliari locali.
