About this book

At an Arizona ranch in fierce summer heat, a military paymaster wants to move his safe and escort toward Camp Stoneman. Sergeant Feeny sees trouble in the delay: several soldiers have gone back along the trail, and he suspects that a report about frightened women has drawn them away from their duty. Charles King's frontier novel begins with this argument over judgment, money and the risks of traveling through dangerous country.

Lieutenant Drummond and his cavalry later track an ambulance carrying stolen funds through a winding desert canyon. Finding water for the horses and reading tracks become as important as keeping up the chase. Meanwhile, the leader of the outlaws understands that the unopened safe helps hold his followers together.
