On the run from some sore poker losers, gambler Lucas Stanton ducks into an office housing the “Great West Detective Agency”—followed by a client who mistakes him for a sleuth. Amanda Baldridge lives in one of Denver’s more well-to-do neighborhoods, and someone has snatched Tovarich, her Russian wolfhound puppy. Unable to resolve this case of mistaken identity—and unwilling to refuse the up-front cash from such a lovely patron—Lucas agrees to find the purloined pooch. But what he believes to be easy earnings for an absurd request becomes a riskier proposition when Lucas finds himself in the crosshairs of the wealthy and powerful Jubal Dunbar, who has already set his sights on Colorado’s governorship—and on the missing mongrel…

Deputy Marshal Mason Barker is worn out. Money''s sparse, his son''s a bum, and his back is giving out after years in the saddle. He''s too old to chase down owlhoots, especially the gang of bandidos terrorizing the New Mexico Territory led by the ruthless Sonora Kid. But Barker has a noose that''s the perfect fit for the Sonora Kid''s grimy neck. Maybe then he''ll get some peace.
