Inhaltsangabe

Jason Ward's plans to run a ranch in a valley in New Castle, Arizona are interrupted when he becomes witness to the murder of local rancher Evan Taylor. The killers spot Jason, capture him, and frame him for the murder, sending Jason to prison while the gang, led by foreman Ben Blount, plot to take Taylor's ranch for themselves.

When Jason is finally paroled for the murder, he returns to New Castle to prove his innocence. Upon his arrival, he meets Jenny Taylor, daughter of the man Jason has been accused of killing. At first Jenny doesn't trust him, but as the two get to know each other better, Jenny soon becomes convinced of Jason's innocence and a romance slowly blossoms between the two of them.

Meanwhile, killer Ben Blount fears that Jason and Jenny will find the evidence they need to prove his role in Evan Taylor's murder. He plots a desperate scheme to destroy the both of them, leading his gang to Jason's ranch where they burn it to the ground and kidnap Jenny. Jason, destitute and vengeful, pursues his nemesis with an oath: he won't rest until Jenny is rescued and Blount has been destroyed.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A retired teacher, Howard Pelham loves to travel and study the history of the places he visits. The idea for Highline Riders came to him while on a visit to the historic Yuma Prison in Arizona.

Howard has an interest in nature as well, and this is reflected in his novels with their detailed descriptions of plant and animal life. Reared on a farm in southern Alabama, he has also always had a special love of horses despite an experience where his leg was broken after a rambunctious bronco threw him from his mount.

Howard has written sixteen western novels. Presently, he lives in Denver, Colorado and writes full time.
