Publisher's Synopsis
TERROR NEAR TOWN An accidental fire or a murderous arson?-that's the question for Chet Harbison, fresh back from the Spanish-American War. The 20-year-old Rough Rider returns to his rural Missouri farm riding a tall, lanky horse that had only known a life of torture before being rescued by the war-weathered soldier. Three neighbors died in the horrendous fire with only a 17-year-old girl barely escaping with her life-and a faded memory. She and Chet soon discover both their lives remain in danger and his combat training is their only chance for survival.
