From the Dust Jacket
Dan Quint’s stepfather, Judd Hurley, always meant trouble. When he married Dan’s mother, he and his son, Blix, had moved to the farm and taken over. Dan—the target for Judd’s meanest moods—had left the farm when he was seventeen, and his visits to his mother since then had been seldom. Now he was twenty-three, and he would take no more of Judd’s bossing. Eastern Kansas hadn’t changed. Neither had his stepfather. As Dan, seeing a rider galloping recklessly in his direction, shaded his eyes against the April sun, he had no idea that danger was overtaking him. He would lose his horse, be forced to kill, become a hunted, beaten, and shamed man. Dan’s only solace in the next few months would be a torn piece of paper, half of a note whose mate was held by a dance-hall girl at Julesburg Station. Matching the pieces would bring the key to a fortune, and Dan would risk everything for that—even his life. Horseless, jobless, homeless, Dan’s courage comes to his rescue, and with a resolution typical of a frontiersman of the 1800’s, he rides toward his fate.
