After a decade working as a tough Chicago cop, Bruce Hanson has begun a successful business as a private investigator in the city. When his business starts expanding in the far West, he finds himself enjoying the rugged wilderness and small-town life of the frontier. Trouble ensues however when a gang of kidnappers holds the daughter of a cattle baron hostage. At that point, Bruce realizes that it will require all of his skills and the help of his sidekick, Monty, to track down the shadowy figures. How will Bruce succeed in getting the rancher's daughter back when he refuses to pay a ransom? Will he manage to avoid getting himself killed in the course of this dangerous undertaking?




With the passing of time, the kidnappers are running out of patience, demanding the ransom without further ado, otherwise, they swear to spread deep sorrow on their way. As if this wasn't enough, the unexpected actions of the hostage's husband make the criminals fly into a rage. How will the legendary duo stall the kidnappers while they figure out a way to free the young couple? Will Bruce's experience and wit help him rescue two innocent people and preserve his widespread reputation?




While Bruce and his sidekick try to trace the ruthless criminals, tensions come to a boil and multiple dangers lurk behind shadows. In this excessive cat and mouse game, will Bruce capture the merciless abductors before it's too late, or will he fail to carry through the most important task of his career?




A pulse-pounding drama, which will make you turn the pages with bated breath until the very last word. A must-read for fans of Western action and romance.
