by Gary Church (Author)

Johnny Black rides again!
A brand-new Johnny Black adventure! Number seven in the Texas based saga that began with Fate Rides A Tall Horse, set in 1869.
It's 1877 and Johnny Black is blessed with a growing family, and an expanding ranch and farming operation, west of San Antonio, Texas. He's happy, and after being kidnapped and almost killed in New Orleans, has vowed to never leave home again. But when his in-laws are kidnapped and held for ransom deep in Mexico, he is determined to rescue them, even though it means putting his own life in danger. Realizing he will need help, he hires 'Crazy' Jack Diggs to accompany him.
It's a long way from San Antonio, Texas to Durango, Mexico and the journey promises to be difficult and dangerous. The roads are thick with highwaymen who rob and often kill travelers. To reach Durango, Johnny and Jack must cross deserts and traverse mountains, while avoiding wild animals, snakes and scorpions. To make matters worse, Johnny is in a terrific hurry, knowing his in-laws are being held captive. He and Jack Diggs are traveling light and fast. Even if they find Johnny's in-laws, the chances of everyone making it home safe are not good, but Johnny knows he must try. Meanwhile, back at the Black homestead, Johnny's wife, Rosalinda, finds herself and the entire ranch family in danger after a confrontation with a wealthy rancher.
