Buck McCready is promoted to wagon master when his mentor Mase Campbell is murdered. Kavanaugh freight line is in a race to win a contract and Buck has to step in to Campbell's shoes. Buck is determined to run down Mase's killer but is obligated to head the freight line in it's race from Corinne to Virginia City. When the drover's are plagued with mishaps, murder and bad luck, Buck begins to think someone doesn't want him to win this race. Zimmer writes an exciting and clever western, using mules instead of horses and bullwhips instead of guns and fists. A true page-turner, hard to put down. I recommend.
