Hunt-U.S. Marshal XII - Wl Cox - Bog

The Hunt-U.S. Marshal saga continues with excitement, danger, mystery, and intrigue. Hunt disperses his men on numerous missions and Hunt's newest U.S. Marshal Recruit, Langley Frost, leaves for training while Jim Blank and Jason Roberts recover from their wounds. Dodd's experience and professionalism prevent the men from riding into a trap like Clayton, and the men had done in Las Animas just a week prior while laying a trap for the Texas Creek gang. While on a mission Hunt stops at his Hidden Valley Ranch and makes an incredible find while checking on his ranch and the livestock. Hunt investigates a squatter that has built a cabin on Cranky Charley's ranch and refuses to leave. Anyone that rides near his cabin is shot at, and he appears to live off of Cranky Charley's cattle. A mountain man is threatening to kill the railroad construction crew foreman if he lays one more rail. Dodd and Earl investigate and discover a frightened 15-year-old girl tied to his bed and returned to Denver with their prisoner and the frightened girl that Beth takes under her wing and wins her trust. This saga includes chasing Leavenworth Prison escapees that are leaving a trail of dead bodies in their wake and investigating a man that threatens to shoot any lawman that tries to arrest him.
