The Portrait of Gavin Doyle - Paperback

by J. R. Roberts (Author)

Spotting a photo in a newspaper she thinks is her father sends Roxy Doyle to Santa Fe, New Mexico. A visit to the Mathew Brady studio-and a dalliance with an artist-confirms her suspicions and directs her to Tombstone, to the Fly Gallery, right next to the O.K. Corral. Roxy has no idea what a powderkeg she's riding into. All she wants to learn is who took her father's picture, and if Gavin Doyle told the photographer where he was going. But with Wyatt Earp, Doc Holiday, Johnny Ringo, and the Clantons facing off, she finds she just might be in the middle of a hailstorm of lead. But whose side would she be on?
