Boot Stoner spent twelve years of his life behind bars for stealing horses and rustling cattle. Upon release, he added murder and kidnapping to his criminal skills - slaughtering his own parents and abducting his 'sister,' a young Creek girl that his folks had adopted - before exacting revenge against the man responsible for his incarceration. U.S. Deputy Marshal John Ward is the best manhunter in the Indian Nations. He's the only one who stands a chance of stopping Stoner's bloody rampage - and of bringing the girl back alive.
