Kit Carson #7

When Kit Carson discovers that Fort Disaster's new commander, Captain Barris, has dismissed legitimate complaints from the Cheyenne tribes about white raiders, he sets out to prove the Indians' case—and uncover who's really behind the raids meant to spark a war. As mysterious marauders in stolen Army uniforms escalate their attacks, Carson finds himself trapped between a stubborn, corrupt officer and a tribe pushed to the brink of retaliation. Can he expose the conspiracy before Fort Disaster becomes the flashpoint for a conflict that will consume the territory?

Kit Carson stumbles upon a ransacked ranch and learns that Comanches led by Chief Horse-Hair have kidnapped the settler's daughter, Elsa Parker, for ransom—but when a conflicted young warrior named Stalking Cow reveals a secret path to the raider's camp, Carson and his companion Joel Molder prepare to strike. With the odds stacked heavily against them, the two trappers must rely on cunning and nerve to rescue the girl from the war chief's grasp before the full force of the Comanche nation catches up to them.

In Apache City, Tex Gregor and Jim Stone stand against Keno Rawson's ruthless grip on power—until Rawson devises a cruel trap that frames Gregor for Stone's murder, sending the gunslinger on the run and the town spiraling into lawlessness. Wounded and hunted, Gregor takes shelter in a hidden canyon with help from an unlikely ally, but his fight against Rawson is far from over. With the decent folks of Apache City losing hope, Gregor begins to plot his return and a reckoning with the man who nearly destroyed him.
