Johnny Buck is a young cowboy, working for the Bar W. In the process of roping an old stob-horned steer, Buck is thrown from his horse–and into a hidden cleft where he encounters the mystery of a murdered man and a bag of ore that just might be gold. The taciturn owner of the Bar W discounts Buck's story of the "gold," but Buck soon finds that some of the shadier ranch hands are gunning for him. With a widow's daughter, a lost mine, and a missing prospector in the balance, Buck has no choice but to solve the mystery–or die trying.
Our foremost storyteller of the American West, Louis L’Amour has thrilled a nation by chronicling the adventures of the brave men and woman who settled the frontier. There are more than three hundred million copies of his books in print around the world.
