Return to High Grade

By D Lincoln Jones

The year is 1872 and there’s talk of building a railroad across the mountains of Colorado.

Could the appearance of two strangers in the frontier town of High Grade be a coincidence? One is well dressed and a smooth talker; the other a hardened criminal. These men arrive on the same day.

Life has settled into a pleasant routine for Sheriff Ben Jones. Recovered from his battles in the Civil War and finally at peace with his partial amnesia, Ben and his new wife Molly have led a nearly idyllic existence.

Crime, terror, and political ambitions disrupt the sleepy town of High Grade. Friendships and loyalties are tested as the sheriff seeks help from the community. The deputy chosen for the sheriff is a former Confederate officer. How will Ben and Molly endure their life’s many new challenges?

D Lincoln Jones

David Lincoln Jones came into the world carrying the genes of a storyteller in his blood. He was born into a family of raconteurs—his parents, aunts, and uncles were all consummate masters of the art of storytelling. Weaving a story himself came naturally, although he’d never considered writing a book until a few years ago. Born in Missouri, his professional career has embraced work with two Fortune 500 companies. Later branching out as an independent entrepreneur and owning two businesses, he continued his interest in local history as well as his own family history and genealogy. Retiring from the world of business, the author has maintained an active life that includes work for athletic events at the University of Arizona. Work continues, too, on writing a sequel to this book, following the historic adventures of the Jones family. He and his wife Barbara live in Tucson, Arizona, while the seven children from their blended marriage remain a continued presence in their lives although scattered across the country, from Boston to San Francisco.
