"Outlaw's Fortune" is the fifth of six Western novels written by W. W. Lee who is best known as the mystery novelist Wendi Lee. The main character in all of Lee's novels is Jefferson Birch, a former Texas Ranger who does work for Tisdale Investigations in the Old West. Tisdale asks Birch to find and capture the mastermind train robber, Tom Hogan. Hogan had just robbed the gold on a train in Albuquerque. He dressed as a helpless old woman to get on board the train. Birch is very reluctant to find and capture Hogan because of a past connection with the train robber. Birch finally agrees to bring Hogan in to face justice. To give away any more of the plot would give away the mystery of Tom Hogan. Birch finds him rather easily and they set out to recover the gold and bring Hogan in to the authorities. The first four of the Birch novels have a strong mystery plot, but "Outlaw's Fortune" is much more Western than mystery. It is a fine Western as are Lee's other Jefferson Birch novels.
