Nelson Lane finds himself once again assisting local law enforcement in Wyoming. This time, it's a tribal policeman enlisting the U.S. marshal's help to find a girl who has gone missing from the Wind River Reservation.

Nelson Lane finds himself once again assisting local law enforcement in Wyoming. This time, it's a tribal policeman enlisting the U.S. marshal's help to find a girl who has gone missing from the Wind River Reservation. It's a good excuse to take a break from playing messenger for banks foreclosing on errant ranchers, among other duties outside the scope of the job description. So, Nelson agrees, figuring the girl is just a runaway: An easy case to wrap up so he can get back to business at his favorite trout stream. His search first leads him to a local moonshiner-found murdered at his ranch. Soon, Nelson suspects the killer must be one of the washed-up Chicago gangsters making their own moonshine in Wyoming, hoping to get back in the good graces of the bosses back home. At every turn, Nelson is thwarted by thugs out to kill him-including a crooked sheriff in the gangsters' pocket. When the marshal finally uncovers what they're really trafficking in, it may be too late to save the missing Wind River girl from certain death-if Nelson can even save himself.
Autorenporträt
C. M. Wendelboe entered the law enforcement profession when he was discharged from the Marines as the Vietnam war was winding down. In the 1970s, his career included assisting federal and tribal law enforcement agencies embroiled in conflicts with American Indian Movement activists in South Dakota. He moved to Gillette, Wyoming, and found his niche, where he remained a sheriff's deputy for more than twenty-five years. During his thirty-eight-year career in law enforcement he had served successful stints as police chief, policy adviser, and other supervisory roles for several agencies. Yet he always has felt most proud of "working the street." He was a patrol supervisor when he retired to pursue his true vocation as a fiction writer. Wendelboe is a prolific author of murder mysteries with a Western flair, as well as traditional Westerns. He writes the Spirit Road Mysteries, the Bitter Wind Mystery series, the Nelson Lane Frontier Mysteries, and the Tucker Ashley Western Adventure series.
