In the third book in the Mary Hardy Series, Jack Reynolds and four Texas Rangers disappear somewhere in the Davis Mountains. Hardy is sent to investigate their disappearance and learn if they are alive or dead. She devises a unique disguise to infiltrate the small town of Balmorhea. She must learn the names of the ringleaders and the location of the missing men. But doing so will put her in extreme danger. Should her true identity become known, she will be killed or worse. The men involved are unscrupulous killers, and she has only two things going for her - her wits and her weapons. Her failure will surely mean death to her and the Texas Rangers.
