Pierre Ryder is not your average Jesuit missionary. He's able to ride the meanest horse, run for miles without tiring, and put a bullet in just about any target. But now he's on a mission of vengeance to find the man who killed his father. The journey will test his endurance to its utmost--and so will the extraordinary woman he meets along the way. Jacqueline "Jack" Boone has all the curves of a lady but can shoot better than most men. In the epic tradition of Riders of the Purple Sage, their story is one for the ages.

Pierre is perfect; his magic cross gives him good luck but his nearest and dearest suffer bad luck. Give cross to tomboy Jack for next book and she gets magic.

Max Brand was a favorite of my youth. Max Brand trying his hand at a weird sort of Mills and Boone romance. The second half of book reads horribly. I wish I hadn't read this book.
