Fork in the False Trail

More about the book

Tucker Ashley returns to his Black Hills ranch to discover it has been raided by Indians, who have killed livestock and captured his best friend and business partner, Jack. Determined to rescue Jack, Tucker sets out after the Indians. Meanwhile, his nemesis, Hack Reed, has escaped from prison and is pursuing Tucker with his gang of ruthless outlaws. The Reed gang ambushes Tucker's posse, leaving only a wounded tracker alive. Tucker's absence intensifies Reed's vengeance. As he tracks the Indians, Tucker discovers they have taken other captives, including a notorious miner murderer and a rancher with his daughter. Just as Tucker faces new threats, Reed's gang ambushes him, but he manages to fight back and escape. Now on foot, Tucker's search for Jack becomes increasingly perilous. In a desperate move, the captives manage to break free, but the murderer and the rancher are quickly killed. The tracker, thought dead, reunites with Tucker, and they continue the pursuit, unaware that Jack and the rancher's daughter have evaded capture and are hiding in the forest. Tucker must navigate the dangers of both the Indians and Reed's gang while racing against time to save his friend. Will he reach Jack before it's too late, or will Reed find him first?
