About the book
Malcolm Theodore Puddle, a 21-year-old shipping clerk, has traveled from the East to find himself in a precarious situation out West. His former neighbor, Humbolt Puddle, has passed away, leaving his vast 600-acre ranch to Malcolm as his sole heir. However, trouble looms as a ruthless cattle baron eyes the Humbolt ranch like a hungry vulture.
Unbeknownst to Malcolm, he is stepping into a dangerous situation. Smoke, the Mountain Man, is not one to show mercy. He sees anyone threatening his neighbor as an enemy, and with hired gunmen causing chaos in the valley, the stakes are high.
Although Malcolm may not be the most skilled or experienced, he is all Smoke has. Together, they must confront the hired guns and defend the valley against all odds. In this epic showdown, a fierce mountain man and a timid clerk must join forces to survive in a battle like no other.
