Sweet Success for Mike Torreano

Published November 13, 2025

Congratulations to Mike Torreano on his latest release, THE RETURN (Western historical fiction, September 2025, Code Publishing). Reviewers call the story’s “…blend of grit, danger, and heart is exactly what fans of western historical fiction look for.”

ABOUT THE BOOK:  Ike and Lorraine McAlister enjoy a simple life on their ranch in South Park, Colorado in 1879. Right up until Ike is offered an enticing railroad job in Denver, a job he’s not qualified for. Despite misgivings, Ike accepts because Lorraine is sick, and Denver holds the promise of better medical care for her. But after their move, she doesn’t improve, and Ike is nearly killed. They second-guess themselves, unaware of a mysterious plot to kill them both. Their search for answers leads them into a murky world of deception and intrigue. Will they manage to live long enough to find out who’s behind this plot and why before the killer strikes them both down? Purchase a copy through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite bookseller.
