As Captain L. J. Bohanin heads for California to enjoy his retirement from the 10th Cavalry he becomes immersed in a mystery involving a beautiful and complex school teacher in Springfield, Colorado. Bohanin, a romantic at heart, decides to champion the woman's cause only to find that the deeper he becomes involved, the more complex and dangerous are his circumstances. The old saying goes, "There's no fool like an old fool," and Bohanin soon realizes how much he fits the profile. Bohanin's Last Days is not the typical shoot-em-up, even with a large quota of bad guys, blazing guns, and Old West adventure. If you like westerns and want a good read, BBohanin's Last Days is the ticket.
