He will find the men he is looking for, but not before he experiences love and faces personal dangers even he could not imagine. Each of the men face different challenges, but destiny will put all of them in the cross hairs of Dirk Evans, a merciless adversary with cold steel where his heart should be. Jack's determination to see justice done and his rejection of his own Native American heritage colide in the climatic struggle against Evans. Only if Jack can accept his heritage and draw strength from it will he succeed. His fate and the fate of Cody Raines, the gunfighter who taught him the way of the gun, Bill Chandler, a black Texas Ranger and Cassie Stanton whom Jack has come to love hang in the balance. On its face, Ride For Justice is a Western written in the style of classic western novels, but beneath the surface lies an ageless tale of personal challenge and growth.
