Trouble follows bounty hunter Frank Vito wherever he goes. But when he arrives in Lynchburg, Virginia, in the spring of 1885, what he discovers there is far worse than he expected. His partner, who sent for him, has been murdered while in pursuit of a dangerous bounty.

And the killer isn’t done yet.

Vito is fighting against time, the townspeople of Lynchburg, and a sheriff seemingly determined to cover up every detail about the crime. However, he must follow the trail his dead partner left behind, and uncover the truth lurking in the shadows of this small town.

Then he meets Ellie, a fiery woman in search of the storied Beale Treasure, and everything changes.

Inspired by true events, The Beale Treasure: A Frank Vito Bounty Hunter Series, is a gun-blasting Western, full of grit and spirit, that will keep your heart racing right up until the stunning conclusion.

What a great book. It has such a good story line and you can read it in just a few hours, which is good because you can't put it down once you start reading. It is very well written. Excited to read this series!!!

This book tries to be an old-fashioned western with heroes, villains and an independent filly. There are still misogynistic males, who play the bad guys, but the main character is becoming "woke" thanks to the filly he beds. A short, predictable story. I won't be ordering the sequel(s). At least it was well-edited.

Hunting for bounty or for gold?

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018

Before reading this, I didn't know that Virginia was part of the wild west.
This is a fun, short tale a bounty hunter who teams up with a new (female) partner to bring in the bad guys. It ends in such a way that this part of their story is complete, but you know there's more to follow.

As a rule, I never read Westerns and hope I'm never stranded on a desert island with nothing but a trunkful of Westerns, although under those circumstances, I would read every one.

However, this series caught my eye with The Servant Girl Murders. I started reading New Orleans Lynchings and decided I needed to go back and read the first book, The Beale Treasure.

Apparently these stories are based on real events, and the author has turned those bits of history into interesting and entertaining stories about a bounty hunter called Frank Vito.

If you like learning a little history while being entertained, you ought to give this series a shot.

Ah yes- that famous Wild West town of... Lynchburg, Virginia? Um... no. There would be no problem bringing a Westerner to the East to look into something, but to bring the West with him- i.e., cowboys, people wearing six-guns, etc. I like westerns and have done for over 50 years- this is not one that I can place in that category.

This is an excellent story and I certainly am disappointed that I inadvertently read the second book first! I am well satisfied with Mr. Hendricks writing abilities, as he doesn't leave any stone unturned!

Very impressed with the story and the author is very adept in his storytelling and impressive in his descriptive storytelling. I have no problem awarding the five stars to this story, as I was glued to book from page one.

I will definitely be reading any story by this author, as he has a very exceptionally well motivated thought train. I have found very few books that just reaches out and grabs my full attention immediately, but both of these two stories did just that.

I, without hesitation, recommend both of these novels, but, please, read them in order. I will have to reread the second book again just to clarify all the facts. Do not miss the opportunity to read these books, as you will be the loser!

Interesting take on the search for the Beale treasure

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have lived in Lynchburg, VA all my life and heard of the Beale treasure all my life. There was a recent expedition searching for the treasure, so this is still a viable idea. I don't believe it is still there, but the book certainly has a lot of information about the letters that Beale sent to family telling about part of the map. This book deals with two murderous brothers who are looking for the treasure and will kill anyone in their way. Following them is a bounty hunter and a woman also searching for gold.
