From the back cover:
Billy Faraday wasn't a man who made careless mistakes. Even when he lay wounded, his hand shot off in the Civil War, he didn't ask his friends for favors. So when his loyal army buddy Sam Benbow got word that Billy needed his help, he quit the Kansas cattle trail to find the cavalier who had saved his life.
Billy's daughter, young Elizabeth Farady, has just two leads: her father's brief letter and a mysterious twenty dollar gold piece. Before Sam can gather his wits, the coin has caught the attention of a cunning and crooked banker and his wise-mouthed sidekick. Still hungry for the profits from a New Orleans robbery that went sour, their dead sure the coin is theirs---- and that Billy's stashed thousands more. When Sam learns that they've kidnapped Elizabeth, he follows the outlaws' trail into a fiery battle for his friend's honor and for his life....
