Down-And-Back agent, Samuel Pardoe, just wants to ride north. He's crossed the plains seven times, and every time but the first he's dreamed of seeing what's in those mountains beyond. The time has finally come for him to find out, but the Army needs him as a courier for a quick detour, and the pay is too good to turn down. Detective Frederick Penrose of the newly established United States Secret Service is onto something big, and when Sam finds him dry-gulched and dying, he has to make a decision about whether or not to help. He believes his destiny lies to the north, but honor is calling him to the southern deserts. His fate is, as yet, unknown.
