HE WAS A WIRE STRINGER-
AND A GOOD ONE
Holt Brandon had strung wire from the Pecos to the high ramparts of the Rockies, and trouble was no stranger to him.
It had shown him a dozen familiar faces - but most familiar of all was that of his old enemy, Champ McCoy of Consolidated Telegraph.
Now Mountain Telegraph had a contract to put a line through to the Montana town of Warlock.
Once again Holt Brandon had to bridge the mountain miles, and once again Champ McCoy's shadow fell across his path.
Wires were cut.
Stringing crews dodged bullets.
Supply freighters were ambushed on the trails.
Then Brandon ran into a new kind of trouble his boss's daughter, tempestuous Gail Whitcomb.
When McCoy struck at her in a final desperate effort to halt Brandon, the old struggle between them turned into a fight to the finish.
