Danger! Violence! Death...as Jeremy Ruger, an adventurous stranger with notches on his gun but none in his conscious, is out for revenge against the back-shooting coward who gunned down his brother in Missouri. Months later, he finally catches up with him only to learn that this dry-gulcher is still the husband of Jennifer Faulkner-the woman whom Jeremy recently met. But Jennifer, who can hold back a man with a bullet or hold him close with a kiss, is fighting to save her ranch from the man behind the unrelenting mysterious disappearance of Col. Albert J. Fountain of Mesilla, New Mexico. Here's breathtaking fictional adventure. Rough! Rousing! Roaring. Here's a daring, absorbing love story as bold and exciting as the old pioneer West with the cold, dramatic impact of a .44 caliber Colt six-shooter. In 1994, a journalist for the Nevada Appeal in Carson City, Nevada branded Monet the new "Louis L'Amour of the Old West" while another of The Herald in Yakima, Washington boldly added Monet's books ruggedly "trace the path of justice in the Wild West." A third book reviewer for Books of the Southwest in Tucson, Arizona had previously proclaimed Monet's stories held such flair that the author deserved to be called "the Mark Twain of New Mexico." Now this noted storyteller releases this western novel in a manner similar to the "original dime-novel's that made such men as Jesse W. James, William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody, James Butler 'Wild Bill' Hickok, and William 'Billy the Kid' Bonney traditional legends of the Old West."
