Preview Pearl
Her parents put her on a train to the Arizona frontier to marry a man she's never met and didn't agree to marry. Feeling betrayed and alone, she goes along with their plan. But something happens along the way that surprises everyone. A local legend, spoken of only in hushed tones by miners and farmers alike, they say the cloven-hooved Red Ghost is thirty feet high, carries a ghoulish rider on its distended back, tramples women to death and devours bears with its ferociously sharp teeth. When Pearl encounters the ghost again, and only just escapes with her life, she decides it's time to find out what, or who, this ghost really is. Pearl's intended is Hilton Pullman, a local reporter for the Tucson Gazette. He's tired of being alone - his parents died when he was young, and his older brother abandoned him after losing his own fiancée. But when that trouble-making brother, Hank, returns right before the wedding, Hilton’s carefully laid plans are thrown into question. Will Pearl marry her intended? And will she discover the secret behind the legend of the Red Ghost?
