Description
"The Rio Grande Valley of the New Mexico Territory and the High Plains of Texas for decades were the domain of Comancheros and marauding bands of renegade Indians. Frank Rule, his wife, Ellen, and their family live in the lawless land near the Rio Grande. Frank is not the average cowboy. Short, bald, and bespectacled, he could easily be mistaken for a clerk in some unsuccessful dry-goods store in a dried-up, godforsaken town. Ellen, the victim of abduction and rape, delivered a half-Indian son. Their daughter, Shirl, was kidnapped by Comancheros and stashed in a remote outlaw encampment in the Texas Panhandle. Their oldest son was also abducted by Indians. Frank rescues Shirl, but his oldest son's fate remains unknown. Frank and Ellen make the fateful decision to leave their isolated ranch and begin a new life near the town of Longsought, Texas. Ordinarily a peaceful man, Frank becomes vengeful after another tragic episode of losses. Tormented at night by the supernatural reappearance of his wife and hectored during the day by the voice of the devil, at times Frank borders on insanity and capable of extreme violence. Yet, even with his own troubles, he has an innate ability to help those who have been wronged. His paladin-like adventures take him across the enormous expanse of the Llano Estacado and into dangerous and unparalleled situations, where he needs all his wits and harsh experiences to survive and see justice done"--
