Description
When Duncan McKaskel decides to move his family west, he expects hard miles, harsh weather, and the constant threat of bandits. After stopping at a stranger’s campfire, he’s pulled into a dangerous encounter—one that seems to save his life but raises unsettling questions about the stranger’s true intentions. As Duncan presses forward, he must balance survival with protection, uncovering what the mysterious man wants and how it could endanger his wife. Blending frontier grit with L’Amour’s signature fast-paced storytelling and practical, lived-in detail, this tale explores trust, moral courage, and the thin line between rescue and ruin on the open range.
