A stand-alone novel by the author of the "Doc" Adams series.
Novel - Buck is an animal ranger for the State of North Carolina. He plays around with women and has a temper. But on balance gigantic Buck Gentry is a straight shooter. He stirs up a hornet's nest, however, when he breaks up an illegal dog fight and upsets mobsters in Atlanta who had supplied both a dog and placed bets on the event. All the bets money mysteriously disappears and most of the rest of the novel goes to the city mob's trying to find out who took it and how they can establish new criminal links to the "backward" mountaineers of Western North Carolina.
