The third Jack Slater novel is an ever-present fight between good and evil...
Jack Slater, once an orphan boy on a train trip west, is facing incredible danger and introducing a new generation of the Slater family.
An outlaw with suitcases full of ill-gained money buys his way into Elko County, Nevada politics. He threatens Jack Slater's family and friends, something Slater will not tolerate. The fight to rid the county of corrupted office holders is also a good lesson in civics for his adopted son, Rob, who fights right alongside Jack Slater. Despite his young age, Rob becomes a man. There were good men who allowed themselves to be corrupted and others who looked to be.
