The second book in the tremendous popular “Tennyson ‘Ten’ St. John Western” series from C. Wayne Winkle! Ten St. John continues his search for his father, this time heading for Las Vegas, NM, where he heard his father and a gunfighter, Noble Blake, were headed. But he doesn’t get there for a while. He runs across more trouble with Apaches and scalp hunters. After rescuing an Apache woman, Lolotea, from scalp hunters, he takes her back to her village. Along the way, he kills a mountain lion with a knife. This earns him a scar on his face and a new Lion Killer. Lolotea nurses him through a severe infection and decides to travel with him. Circumstances prevent Ten from refusing this. Several adventures in Las Vegas and Santa Fe, NM, and a trip through the wilderness to Phoenix, Arizona Territory, end up with one he thought a friend turning on him. Still, he continues pursuing his father. And Noble Blake.
