Los Alamos is a small town on its way to big things. It is a growing tourist destination yet retains its pastoral charm. The history of the Los Alamos Valley can be viewed as a microcosm of the history of California, for it contains within its span Chumash Indians, mission neophytes and horse herds, Spanish land grants, cattle ranches, vaqueros, bandits, oil bonanzas, a narrow-gauge railroad, fertile soil for bountiful crops, vast vineyards, tourism, and even an element of Hollywood. Its location on the Central Coast of California means sunny skies, cool evenings, and cool, damp breezes. The character and resilience of the Los Alamos Valley inhabitants, however, is the real story. Theirs is a history of intermingling cultures and races, a steadfast preservation of traditions, and a pioneer streak of stubborn perseverance in the face of natural and economic adversity. The images in this book were gathered as the result of a community effort.

Award-winning author R Lawson Gamble lives and writes in Los Alamos in the Central Coast of California. In addition to his Zack Tolliver, FBI series he published the pictorial history, Los Alamos Valley, with Arcadia Press, and Payu's Journey, an analogical journey seen through the eyes of Australian animals. He has recently published a Western series, Johnny Alias, currently three books in length. An ardent historian, the author has made appearances as a speaker and has participated in documentary films.

The award-winning Zack Tolliver novels (Gold, Silver, and Bronze from Readers' Favorite International Book Awards) are all crime mystery fiction. Unlike some series in the Native American category, the protagonists Zack Tolliver and Eagle Feather find themselves in different settings in each new novel––intriguing environments with varied cultures, history, and political undercurrents, all of which present unusual impediments to solving the new mystery.

Of course, certain features never change. The reader may expect Zack Tolliver and Eagle Feather in every story, and relatives, associates, and friends make appearances from time to time. Even an arch villain or two sometimes returns. There is always a crime (usually a murder), a mystery, lots of action, suspense, well-researched history, actual topographical features, Native American cultures and myths and, of course, an element of mysticism and the paranormal.
