About This Book

The narrative follows a plainsman who, after witnessing or becoming entangled in a killing on the trail, is arrested on a fabricated murder charge and faces a hostile frontier community determined to dispense rough justice. He evaluates his danger, escapes custody, and moves across arid ridges and desert to find refuge and allies. Along the way he encounters a cabin-bound woman, a doctor, local officials, conspirators, and violent pursuers; conflicts escalate to ambushes, a duel, and efforts to expose the true culprits while navigating lawlessness, mistaken attempts at assassination, and the tense loyalties of frontier townspeople.
