Teenager Ned Giles is one of dozens of men who join the 1932 'Great Apache Expedition', raised to free the young son of a Mexican rancher, kidnapped by Apaches. In a Mexican jail, they come across a wild Apache girl, orphaned, wild with fear and incapable of speaking or eating.

Based on historical fact, this vivid novel brings to life the last vestiges of the mythic West.
