Danger is waiting to strike in the Sonoran Desert
When the part-time cavalry scout Murphy agrees to ride out and warn the Arizona settlers that Apaches have jumped their reservation, he isn't expecting any trouble.
The worst that might happen is the Indians come after his scalp.
But when he runs into the beautiful Rosemary, he finds himself pitted against ruthless enemies of every kind.
Kidnappers, comancheros and renegade Apaches are on his trail - and after his blood.
But most implacable of all, there is the Sonoran Desert itself, where everything that grows either bites, stings or scratches.
It has claimed many victims over the years and Murphy could be next.
Murphy needs all his skill and wit about him if he is to have any hope of survival.
Apache Country is a brilliantly authentic tale of the Old West, combining meticulous research with gripping story-telling.
