Manhunt

When notorious killer Spencer Rowelings escapes from the Nevada State Prison, along with twenty-eight fellow inmates, only U. S. Marshal Bane Messenger and his deputies stand in the ruthless madman's way.

Using unconventional sources of intelligence and his own shrewd powers of deduction, Bane tracks the elusive killer and his gang, by horse and by train, from Carson City, Nevada, to Bodie, California, the wide-open Wild West boomtown in the treacherous Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Having twice avoided the hangman's noose, Rowelings plans to terrorize the West. But, first, he has a personal score to settle: targeting Bane's loved ones. . . .

Can the marshal outfox the cunning killer and save his beloved family?
