Tilman Wagner is back, this time with his new wife Catherine and her son. In response to a telegraphed plea for help from Catherine's sister-in-law, Esperanza, the new family is on their way to the New Mexico Territory to help Catherine's brother try to save his land and his family from greedy cattle rustlers and no-account lowlifes. They get more than they bargained for in the form of a wayward son's rage against his father, a stolen herd of cattle, and some unsavory citizens of the Texas cattle town of Tascosa. The roots of greed extend to Santa Fe where dishonest men are hard at work to skin the family out of its land. Along the way, Tilman calls in a favor from cattleman John Chisum at the Bosque Redondo. Once again, Butter Pegram is on hand to help Tilman in his attempts to aid a frontier family struggling with their search for justice.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The Culps return with a quick and formulaic installment to the Telegraph series. Tilman Wagner, new bride Catherine and adopted son in tow, arrives in town to help Catherine's brother, David, who is having trouble with his cattle ranch. Rustlers in the pay of David's neighbor are ransacking his herds, and he's got some domestic problems—his son Cam's gambling and drinking habits have him so in debt that he becomes a cattle rustler himself. With the help of old friend Butter, Tilman defeats the rustlers and saves the ranch before being called away again on another mission. The book doesn't aspire to much more than standard genre fare; it hits the requisite bases and will while away part of an afternoon. (Oct.)
