Jack Langan left his comfortable life as a New York lawyer to travel out west to meet the father who had abandoned him many years previously. But never in his wildest dreams did he expect to be offered the richest ranch in the territory for his efforts. Then again, he could not have imagined that he would be violently abducted and then rescued by such unlikely friends. Nor could he have envisaged being forced to strap on a pair of Colt.45 to challenge the sheriff to a gun-fight in front of an angry crowd of townspeople. If Langan is to survive, he must discover his own courage and learn to understand the ways of the West.
