Description: Where was Emily Greatheart? The pretty young lady from Denver who had gone to Arizona to meet her dead fiance's mother had vanished. Only a bloodstained jacket was found in an abandoned spring buggy hired from the Pike's crossing livery stable. Emily was the daughter of Big Jack Greatheart, ex-marshal and one-time tamer of brawling boom-towns. But Big Jack lay in his bed in Colorado, frustratingly crippled by arthritis and a shadow of his former self. So he called on unconventional detective Joshua Dillard. Joshua followed a cold trail and hot impulses into battle against ambitious cattleman Bart Waller and his gun-handy, womanizing son, Vincent. No wonder he was soon up to his reckless neck in two-fisted, lead-slinging trouble!
Notes: Novel by a New Zealand auhtor.
