About this ebook
The attack came while the men were away from the settlement. There was no time for a defense. Afterward all that was left was the dead, the dying and the three missing Simmons girls.
And there was Jack Horne. He'd lived among the Arapaho and now lived outside the settlement—the only man with any chance of getting the girls back.

"No writer could know the west of tall men stark against an austere horizon better than does Jory Sherman. His novels are studies in the best and darkest of characters. His stories are nothing less than art in the truest meaning of the word."—Terry C. Johnston, author of THE PLAINSMEN series
"JORY SHERMAN IS A NATIONAL TREASURE!"—Loren Estleman, award-winning author of BLOODY SEASON
"THE BEST WRITER WE HAVE IN WESTERN FICTION!" —Dale Walker, columnist, Rocky Mountain News
