Lin Allan Cooper rides back to North Ridge, New Mexico after three brutal years hunting the Sioux and Cheyenne who murdered his parents on the Medicine Bow. The ranch he built with his best friend Frank Shimmer is gone. Someone bought it by paying off their overdue taxes and mortgage. Coop discovers that stage robberies plague the territory. Worse, someone has marked him for death. The local sheriff struggles to stop the holdups while the governor calls in the Army to restore order. Coop must navigate deadly enemies on multiple fronts. His personal war may have followed him home, or he may have walked into an entirely new conflict that threatens everything he hoped to reclaim in North Ridge.
