Longarm finds an enemy's little girl is all grown up!
U.S. Deputy Marshal Custis Long opens his door to a visitorjust in time to see him die in a hail of gunfire. The killers get awayand the victim leaves Longarm with the words "stolen gold" and "Sweetwater Canyon"
The dead man once shared a cell with Clete Harrigan, a notorious bank robber Longarm put behind bars years ago. The army payroll that Harrigan's gang stole was never recovered. Now Longarm thinks it just might be hidden in Sweetwater Canyon in New Mexico.
Before he can depart, Harrigan's daughter Emily arrives, wanting to make amends for her father's crimes by helping retrieve the money. With outlaws in pursuit, Longarm can use the help. But is she as lovely as she seemsor as lowdown as her daddy?
