Untarnished Reputation: A Historical Novel

When he learns that President McKinley is dying from an assassin’s bullet, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt decides that before he can assume the presidency, he must suppress a dangerous secret from his past – a secret that could cripple his ability to govern the United States; a secret that could tarnish his otherwise spotless reputation. Did he really cross paths with Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fifteen years earlier in 1886 Montana? When Roosevelt sees Bat Masterson, the soon-to-become president enlists his help, disclosing the untold events and assigning him the task of managing the potential scandal. Will Masterson be able to pull all the threads together and keep the secret hidden from the American public?
