  Wide eyed, the little boy tipped his head far back to peer up at the gaudily painted vehicle looming over him in the Museum of Transportation.

  “Whoa,” he said in an awed voice that matched his gaze. “Is that a real stagecoach?”

  “They probably just made it to look like one,” the boy’s mother said. “I’m not sure there are any real stagecoaches around anymore.”

  A tall, straight-backed man with silvery hair and a neatly clipped mustache approached them.

  “Beg your pardon, ma’am,” he said as he gave the woman a polite nod and reached up to pinch the brim of the brown felt cowboy hat he wore. “I couldn’t help overhearing what the little fella asked. Son, that sure is a real stagecoach.”

  “You mean people used to ride it in the Old West?” the boy asked as his eyes got big.

  “They did.”

  Ignoring the somewhat disapproving frown the woman gave him, the older man stepped closer to the stagecoach, which was painted bright red with brass fittings and a gleaming brass rail around the top. On the side, above the door and the windows, in gold paint were the words WELLS FARGO & CO. OVERLAND STAGE. The rear wheels were bigger than the front wheels, but both sets were taller than the little boy, who wore a straw cowboy hat and a fringed vest from some playset.

  The man rested a fingertip on the side of the stage, just below the back window on this side, and said, “See this? It’s been painted over a heap of times, so you can’t hardly make it out anymore, but somebody scratched something into the wood here.”

  “I don’t know,” the boy said, frowning. “I can see something there, but I can’t make it out. . . .”

  “All right to give the lad a hand, ma’am?”

  The woman sighed, tired from a day of sightseeing and eager to get back to the motel.

  “Sure, go ahead,” she said.

  From behind, the man took hold of the little boy under the arms and lifted him so his face was close to the stagecoach.

  “I see it!” the boy said. “It looks like somebody’s initials.... B.B. . . . December . . . 1901.” He turned his head to look at the man. “That was sixty years ago.”

  With only a slight grunt of effort, the man set the little boy on the floor again.

  “It sure was,” he said. “I happen to know that the fella who scratched those letters on there was riding in the coach when it was caught in a blizzard in Donner Pass back in oh-one.”

  “Wait, wait, wait.” Another man approached, holding up his hands. This one was chubby, with dark curly hair. A pair of glasses kept slipping down his nose. “Don’t fill the boy’s head with nonsense.”

  “What are you talkin’ about, mister?” the older man said as he looked around.

  “No stagecoach would have been traveling through Donner Pass, at Christmastime or any other time of the year, in 1901. The Central Pacific Railroad was completed long before that and had been taken over by the Southern Pacific by then. There would have been no reason for a stagecoach to go through there.”

  “You know that for a fact, do you?”

  “Yes, I do. I have a doctorate in history, and I wrote my thesis on the development and expansion of the American railroad system.”

  “So you’re a college professor.”

  “That’s right, I am.”

  “I reckon you set me straight, then.” Clearly dismissive, the older man turned back to the boy. “Like I was saying, that stagecoach was on its way through the Sierra Nevadas that December when it started to snow—”

  “No, you’re wrong—”

  “I’m telling the story here, amigo, not you.” The older man’s voice had taken on a flinty tone that made the professor step back nervously. “You’re welcome to listen while I talk to the boy. Could be you’ll learn something.”

  The woman said, “We have to go—”

  “No!” the boy said. “I want to hear the story. Does it have cowboys in it?”

  “A bunch of ’em,” the older man told him with a smile. “And one of ’em was called Smoke. It all starts in San Francisco. . . .”

  BOOK ONE

  CHAPTER 1

  San Francisco, December 1901

  “Give me all your money and valuables, mister, and be quick about it!”

  “No, I don’t believe I will,” Smoke Jensen said as he shook his head.

  “I mean it!” the would-be robber said, jabbing the gun in his hand toward Smoke.

  He had stepped out of an alley a moment earlier and threatened Smoke with the old, small-caliber revolver. Smoke was on his way to an appointment and had taken a shortcut along a smaller street, which at the moment was practically deserted.

  A few people were walking along the cobblestones in the next block, but they were unaware of the drama playing out here . . . or ignoring it because they didn’t want to get involved. It was hard to tell with big-city folks.

  The thief wore a threadbare suit over a grimy, collarless shirt. Smoke couldn’t see the soles of the man’s shoes, but he would have bet they had holes in them. The man’s dark hair was lank and tangled, his face gaunt, his eyes hollow.

  “Opium?” Smoke asked.

  “What?” The man looked and sounded confused as he responded to Smoke’s question.

  “That’s why you’ve resorted to robbing people on the streets? So you can afford to go down to Chinatown and visit one of the opium dens?”

  “That ain’t none o’ your business. Just gimme your damn money!”

  “No.” Smoke’s voice was flat and hard now, with no compromise in it. “And you�
�d better not try to shoot that old relic. It’ll likely blow up in your hand if you do.”

  The man turned the gun’s barrel away from Smoke to stare at the weapon. When he did that, Smoke’s left hand came up and closed around the cylinder. He shoved the barrel skyward, just in case the gun went off.

  At the same time, Smoke’s right fist crashed into the robber’s face and sent him flying backward. Smoke was a medium-sized man, but his shoulders were broad as an ax handle and the muscles that coated his torso were thick enough to make his clothes bulge if the garments weren’t made properly.

  Smoke had pulled his punch a little. The robber looked to be on the frail side, and Smoke didn’t want to hit him too hard and break his neck.

  For many years he had been in the habit of killing or at least seriously injuring anybody who pointed a gun at him, but this time it seemed like enough just to disarm the varmint and knock him down. Smoke expected to see him scramble up and flee as quick as his legs would carry him away from here.

  The man got up all right, but instead of running away, he charged at Smoke again with a wolfish snarl on his face. His hand darted under his coat and came out clutching a short-bladed but still dangerous knife.

  That made things different. Smoke twisted aside as the man slashed at him with the blade. The knife was probably more of a threat than the popgun the man had been waving around.

  Smoke tossed the revolver aside, grabbed the man’s arm with both hands while the man was off balance, and shoved down on it while bringing his knee up.

  The man’s forearm snapped with a sharp crack. He screeched in pain and dropped the knife. When Smoke let go of him, he fell to his knees in the street and stayed there, whimpering as he cradled his broken arm against his body.

  Smoke picked up the gun, took hold of the would-be robber’s coat collar, hauled him to his feet, and marched him stumbling along the cobblestones until he found a police officer.

  The blue-uniformed man glared at him and demanded, “Here now! What’ve you done to this poor fellow?”

  “This poor fella, as you call him, tried to rob me,” Smoke said. With his free hand, he held out the gun and the knife. “He pulled this gun on me and demanded all my money and valuables, and when I took it away from him he tried to cut me open with the knife. I’d had about enough of it by then.” Smoke shoved the would-be robber toward the officer. “His arm’s broken, so he’ll need some medical attention before you lock him up.”

  “Wait just a blasted minute! I’m supposed to take your word for all this?”

  “It’s true, it’s true!” the thief wailed. “Lock me up, do anything you want, just keep that crazy cowboy away from me!”

  “Sounds like a confession to me,” Smoke said. He started to turn away.

  “Hold on,” the officer said. “At least tell me your name and where to find you, so I can fill out a report.”

  “The name’s Smoke Jensen, and my son and daughter and I are staying at the Palace Hotel.”

  The policeman’s eyebrows rose. The Palace was the city’s oldest, most luxurious, and most expensive hotel. The man standing in front of him wasn’t dressed fancy—Smoke wore a simple brown tweed suit and a darker brown flat-crowned hat—but if he could afford to stay at the Palace, he had to have plenty of money.

  Not only that, but the name was familiar. The officer recalled where he had seen it and blurted out, “I thought Smoke Jensen was just a character in the dime novels!”

  “Not hardly,” Smoke said. He was well aware of the lurid, yellow-backed yarns that portrayed him variously as an outlaw, a lawman, and the West’s fastest and most-feared gunfighter. All of those things had been true at one time or another, but the fevered scribblings of the so-called authors who cranked out those dubious tomes barely scratched the surface.

  These days he was a rancher. His Sugarloaf spread back in Colorado was one of the most successful and lucrative west of the Mississippi, not to mention the wealth that had come from the gold claim he had found as a young man. He could well afford to stay at the Palace Hotel. More than likely, he could have booked an entire floor and not missed the money.

  Instead he had a suite, with rooms for himself; his son, Louis Arthur; and his daughter, Denise Nicole. He was on his way to meet the twins now, and he didn’t want to be delayed.

  “Is it all right for me to go on to the hotel?” he asked the policeman.

  “Why, sure it is, Mr. Jensen,” the officer said. He took hold of the thief’s uninjured arm. “I’ll tend to this miscreant. I’m sorry you ran into trouble here in our fair city.”

  “Don’t worry about it,” Smoke said. “For some reason, I tend to run into trouble just about everywhere I go.”

  * * *

  Smoke had been to one of the banks in San Francisco where he had an account, to deal with some business regarding one of his investments. He had money in several different banks here and in Denver and Chicago, and over the years he had invested in numerous enterprises that had made him even more wealthy.

  None of which affected the way he lived his life one bit. He had his ranch, his friends, his brothers and nephews, his children, and most of all his beloved wife, Sally, who at the moment was back on the Sugarloaf. Those were the only things that really mattered to him, not numbers written in some bank ledger.

  From the bank, he had headed for the building where he was supposed to meet Louis Arthur and Denise Nicole. He hoped the encounter with the opium addict who had tried to rob him hadn’t delayed him too much.

  Of course, the twins were perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, especially Denny. She was a beautiful, genteel young woman—when she wanted to be—but as she had proved by strapping on a gun and going after a gang of outlaws who had raided the ranch, she wasn’t shy about standing up for herself and her family, either.1

  When Smoke walked into the office, which smelled vaguely of carbolic acid, he saw Denny waiting in one of the armchairs, but there was no sign of Louis.

  “Where’s your brother?” he asked.

  Denny wore a dark blue traveling outfit with a hat of the same color perched on upswept blond curls. A pair of fawn gloves lay in her lap. She looked at Smoke and said, “He’s already in with the doctor. He didn’t want me to go with him, of course.” She blew out a breath. “I don’t know why. It’s not like we’ve ever been that shy around each other.”

  “Yeah, but you’re not kids anymore.” Smoke took off his hat and sat down in the chair next to Denny’s. “And even though he won’t admit it, I think your brother feels like he’s letting down the name Jensen by not being as tough as the rest of us. What he doesn’t understand is that he’s just as tough in other ways. How do you think Luke or Matt or I would have handled it if we’d had a bad heart and couldn’t do all the things we’ve done?”

  “I suppose,” Denny said.

  In truth, if Smoke or his brothers had been physically impaired like Louis, likely none of them would have lived to adulthood. Luke never would have made it through the war, let alone become a bounty hunter, and Matt probably wouldn’t have survived the outlaw attack that had left his birth family dead. Smoke never would have headed west with his father after the war to clash with Indians and badmen and meet the old mountain man called Preacher who had taught him everything he knew about handling a gun.

  And he never would have met and fallen in love with the beautiful young schoolteacher Sally Reynolds, so Denise Nicole and Louis Arthur wouldn’t even be here.

  Smoke was musing on those weighty thoughts when a door opened and a thick-bodied man with a beard stepped out. Pince-nez perched on his nose. He looked a little like President Theodore Roosevelt, who had taken office a few months earlier—and whom Smoke had met when he was a Montana rancher. Teddy was a good man for an easterner.

  “Mr. Jensen?” the bearded man said.

  Smoke got to his feet. “That’s right.”

  “I am Dr. Hugo Katzendorf. If you would come back to my office, please.”
/>   Dr. Katzendorf had only a faint accent to indicate his Prussian origins. He was a heart specialist, reputedly one of the best in the country.

  Years earlier, when Louis was a small child and Sally’s parents had taken him to Europe to seek the finest medical attention for him, Katzendorf was one of the doctors who had seen him.

  Now, having immigrated to America and established a practice in San Francisco, Katzendorf had written to Louis and asked for the chance to examine him again after almost two decades, to compare his condition now to what it had been back then. Such knowledge might prove vital to physicians who specialized in treating heart problems.

  Denny started to get up, but Smoke motioned her back into her chair. She glared at him. Denny hated being left out of anything, from a party to a fight. But she sighed and stayed where she was.

  When Smoke and Katzendorf walked into the physician’s office, they found Louis there, buttoning up his shirt after the examination. He had the same fair hair and slender build as his sister. He smiled and said, “Tell my father the good news, Doctor.”

  “I’m always ready to hear good news,” Smoke said.

  Katzendorf hooked his thumbs in his vest over his ample belly and frowned.

  “Your son has a rather dry sense of humor, Mr. Jensen. The news is not . . . good.” He held up a pudgy hand to forestall any response from Smoke and went on, “But neither is it entirely bad. Louis’s heart is indeed stronger than it was when he was a child. But I fear it is also enlarged, and the valves in it are weak. He will always be in danger of it failing.”

  Louis laughed and said, “The good doctor doesn’t understand. I fully expected to have dropped dead before now. I’m living on borrowed time, so I consider every day a blessing.”

  Smoke’s hand tightened on the hat he held. Even though he had known it was too much to expect, he had hoped Katzendorf would declare that Louis was cured. The youngster’s color was so much better than it had been, and he seemed stronger all the time.
