In the stirring Western Incident at Cat Canyon, newspaperman Gil Forrester has just completed an interview with a blustery old Senator in Arizona at the hanging of "Ol' Whiskers," Pete Enderson. Heading back home, things are turned upside down when Gil is captured by a renegade Indian, who exacts a plan of revenge after being humiliated by Gil. Follow along as Gil makes a daring escape in a torturous barefoot run for his life.

Gil's challenges, as a newspaperman turned deputy Sheriff, are tempered by a love consummated in marriage, only to be lost through a tragic accident until a renewal of life is found in a most unexpected relationship.

There's plenty of old-fashioned adventure, romance, trials of life, and surprising humor that comes at the most awkward of times. In other words, all the elements of real life are written in a most satisfying way for fans of Westerns.

Marvin Wallace retired after twenty-plus years in law enforcement in Oregon. During that time, he took creative writing classes as electives in addition to his core classes, ultimately earning a master's degree in public administration from Portland State University. His writing classes spurred him on to writing poetry and novels as a hobby. Now retired and making his home in Alabama, he is able to devote more time to writing, which is his passion. This is his first book. His next, The Trail to Taos, will follow shortly.
