Not every man behind bars is guilty.
Jacob Payne, bounty hunter, had expected to spend the few days leading up to Christmas with his sweetheart Bonnie Loft. There was the nativity play at the church, and shopping she wanted to do for her family back east.
But then Jacob learns that fifteen-year-old Benjamin Wilbourne was being held in jail for robbing the telegraph office. Something doesn't seem right; the clues don't add up.
Can he prove the young man's innocence before the circuit judge shows up? Will Jacob's Christmas plans be eaten up by his push for justice?
If you love traditional westerns, with noble men fighting for what's right, you're going to love Jacob Payne.
