The Hostage at Rustler’s Ridge

They took her in broad daylight—right off the boardwalk—with a town too scared to lift a hand. Now she's riding into the dead country with men who don't bargain twice and don't leave witnesses behind. Rustler's Ridge is where stolen cattle vanish… and men disappear with them. But they made one mistake. They took the wrong woman. Because someone is coming. A man with a long memory, a steady hand, and a past that don't stay buried. He's ridden out of worse places than this—and he don't turn back once he's set his course. The ridge will run red before he's done. And when the shooting starts, there won't be any deals left to make. Only one truth— Some men come for ransom. Others come to settle it for good. Duration - 41m. Author - Simon Fry.
