Skye Fargo receives an advance for the hired killing of the murderous Sioux war chief Mountain Lion, but discovers to his horror that the man who put up the money may have participated in Mountain Lion's bloody massacre...
Fargo is hired by Wayne Drummond to kill a Sioux war chief on a murderous rampage. The orders are simple: find him and put him down. But the job is anything but straightforward. Clues begin to surface that Mountain Lion’s violence may have a deeper motive, and when Fargo finally uncovers the truth, everything changes. Suddenly he’s facing two enemies, and caught in the middle is a young woman he must save.
A strong entry in the series, even if it takes its time getting to the action. It has the expected adult moments, and one scene shows Fargo’s humanity more clearly than most. Written possibly by John Messmann. 4/5.
