Book Review: Galloway’s Gamble 2: Lucifer & The Great Baltimore Brawl

Galloways Gamble 2 by Howard WeinsteinThis worthy sequel, set in the fall of 1873, follows brothers Jamey and Jake Galloway on a cross-country adventure with a cast of eclectic characters as they try to outwit a wealthy swindler at his own game—and that game is horse racing. Along the way, the Galloway brothers and their companions face every setback and obstacle the Old West can throw at them from train robbery and kidnapping to romances gone sideways. Through all of this, Weinstein doesn’t shy away from the social ills of the time and weaves them seamlessly into the plot. A fun, fast read.
