Back home

Captain James Carmichael, a seasoned Texas Ranger, is on his way home after a discreet assignment in Mexico City. As his Pullman rattles through a dusty hill village, he watches the everyday bustle of serape‑clad men, women at humble adobe doors, and restless children begging for a cent. The landscape triggers memories of a mining concession that will soon demand a report for the governor in Austin.

When the train finally stops, a solitary white traveler steps onto the platform, his worn clothes and a scar that stretches across his upper lip marking him as both rugged and oddly distinguished. The stranger’s British‑made bag and quiet demeanor hint at a hidden purpose that catches Carmichael’s seasoned eye. Their brief, tense encounter sets the stage for a journey where duty, mystery, and the harsh borderlands intersect, promising listeners a gripping blend of frontier justice and subtle intrigue.
