Prevented from making an arrest!
Sam Colder tracks a vicious man to Magdalena in the New Mexico Territory. When he finds him, the local law won't let him arrest the man. The sketch on the reward poster is pretty bad, and the mayor sweard the man he followed there is someone else.
Bad things are afoot, but what?
Sam is the outsider and it's hard to learn anything. A couple of writers from Chicago and a conflict between the mayor, who is also the banker, and local miners confuse things even more.
And the mayor's wife is nothing but trouble. For a lot of people.
An action-packed adult Western.
