Lee Slater, renowned gunfighter and sheriff in Fort Pierce, Arizona territory, received the cryptic message four weeks after it was sent.
‘*URGENT* You are needed at home. Please come as soon as you can.’ Signed, Spooner Jenkins.
Why would Jenkins, his father’s best friend and the foreman of his family’s Triple S Ranch, have written such a message?
This telegram sparks Slater’s long ride to his childhood home in Bradley, Wyoming, just shy of the Montana border. Although he doesn’t know what could warrant such a message after sixteen years away, he knows the answer only lies at the end of a long, perilous journey!
