Apache Moon

by Len Levinson

Everyone in town says Braddock is innocent. Two men are dead at the Bar T Ranch: a clear case of self-defense. But an angry Army officer has personal reasons for pressing charges and Braddock is on the run, headed for Mexico with marriage on his mind and high-spirited Phyllis at his side. Between Mexico and freedom lays treacherous Apache land. It could spell cruel death. For Braddock, it becomes a haven - - a place to discover a priceless piece of his heritage. But a relentless sense of duty and a fat bounty to bring Phyllis home spur on Marshall Dan Stowe to smoke the Pecos Kid out. And before he knows it, Braddock is alone, riding for the border and a shootout that will brand him an outlaw forever or leave him stone-cold dead.

Picking up where we left off at the conclusion of The Reckoning, we find Duane Braddock and Philis Thorton on the dodge in Apache territory. With a double murder hot on his trail, it was time to keep moving. Federal Marshal Dan Still rode into the Bar-T ranch. He came all the way from San Antonio with a warrant for Duane Braddock. Everyone he spoke to gave the same story, except Lt. Clayton Dawes. Dawes wouldn’t retract his accusation, so Still had no choice but to go after Braddock. Apaches came upon Duane and Philis, taking them to their camp. In the following chapters, Duane learned many things while he was at the Apache camp. Meanwhile, the cavalry led by Lt. Dawes searched for the pair, as did marshal Still. The story gains momentum, as the tension and mystery of the situation increase. The tale takes on a new life, and it becomes impossible to put it down. My interest and satisfaction rose from a three to a five-star appreciation.
