A giant wolf dog rescues a drowning escaped convict who could help the
dog’s troubled owner in this classic Western by the author of Sky
Blue. When Andrew Apperley visits his brother David in the East, he
brings along an unexpected companion. Andrew’s giant wolf dog,
Comanche, is so wild that he has to be chained up for the safety of
others. However, when the Apperley brothers come across a man drowning
in the East River, Comanche breaks loose from his chains and swims to
the man’s rescue. In fact, this man, Single Jack Deems, is a convict
who has just escaped from Blackwell’s Island. Deems wants Comanche
for himself and trails the Apperley brothers as they journey back
West. Meanwhile, Andrew has his own problems back home with dangerous
outlaw and businessman Alex Shodress. Shodress has learned to steal
with immunity from the law, and has imperiled everything Andrew owns.
When Deems finally shows up at the Apperley ranch to buy Comanche,
Andrew tells him that there is only one way he can win possession of
the wolf dog, if he is willing to do it. Once again, beloved Western
author Max Brand weaves a compelling story of the Old West, its
systems of law and justice, and the people that lived in its time.
