Hoofbeats West

By Colin Bainbridge

When Jess Caird, owner of the White Sage range, finds one of his cowhands murdered and his barn set on fire, he sets out with two old-timers to bring the culprit to justice. Evidence points to Grote, a notorious gunslinger and killer, and the trail leads Caird and his companions to the town of Sand Ridge. There they encounter big-time business man, Dugmore, who has set up his Pony Express operation, where Caird's nephew is in employment. Jess can't work out newcomer Dugmore - is he a shrewd businessman or something more sinister? Is there a connection between Dugmore and Grote? Caird and his side-kicks battle their way through constant peril as they fight to reveal the truth.
