The Covered Trail - An Adventure From The Casebook of Dr. Marcus Quigley

Doctor Marcus Quigley, qualified dental surgeon, gambler and sometime bounty hunter has gradually been working his way west. His reasons for choosing such a lifestyle are personal and pressing, as well as expedient, for there is someone he means to track down and hold to account for a murder committed some years previously.

In THE COVERED TRAIL Doc Marcus Quigley is wearing his bounty hunter hat as he tracks down a couple of desperate characters. Once he has taken care of them he reverts to his normal occupation as a dental surgeon, only to find himself the victim of an outrageous crime. Yet it is no ordinary crime and he soon finds out that there is good reason why a gang of robbers have gone to inordinate lengths to cover their trail. Not only that, but he is anxious to follow up a lead about a murderer that he has been pursuing for several years.
