Dodge City

When Luke Ryatt arrived in Dodge in answer to Ned Coster's summons, he found his old friend dead. Ned had never gotten the chance to tell Ryatt why it was so important he come, but it simply wasn't like Ned to commit suicide - no matter what the townspeople said. Then Ryatt learned there was a lot of money missing - money Colonel Morgan and his boys, fresh from a cattle drive, said it was theirs, money the townspeople also sought. Had Colonel Morgan been cheated as he claimed - or was Ryatt's ex-commanding officer nothing but a murdering liar? Ryatt owed it to Ned to find out. But it looked like a bullet in Ryatt's back was to be the price of justice.
