About This Book

A western tale of ranch life and mounting tensions between modest ranchers and a dominant cattle concern, centered on a taciturn rider whose policy of minding his own business is disrupted when he finds a dead man. The discovery draws him into the affairs of a resolute young woman and a lively homesteader, and sets off a chain of tracking, suspicious accidents, confrontations, and a kidnapping. Action and quieter moments probe themes of loyalty, secrecy, and the difficult choices enforced by a harsh, competitive frontier community.
