Exciting and moving western adventure.

Bill Brooks' Law for Hire series is a delight filled with well drawn characters and settings. Pinkerton operative Teddy Blue is called for by Buffalo Bill Cody. Cody's planning another big hunting expidition, in hopes he can use the profits to fund another Wild West show. Suspicious, superstitious, still spooked by the recent murder of Wild Bill and "Georgie" Custer being slaughtered (these things happen in threes, see) and tired Cody feels he needs protection. Plus, someone did try to shoot him. Teddy Blue, fresh from springing a friend out of jail, takes on the assignment. It's dangerous as a mentally unstable man has decided on a whim to take out Cody, while the son of the warrior Yellow Hand escapes from his reservation school and seeks to elimnate his father's killer which he believes will help reclaim his true heritage. Exciting, lyrical and poignant.
