Backtrack — Kirk Hamilton

When old Buffalo Vance was backshot, he figured it was time to put his affairs in order. But how could he do that when he didn't even know what had become of his estranged daughter, Laura? Was she alive or dead? And after twenty years, did she even want a relationship with him?
Vance hired the Pinkerton Detective Agency to find the girl, but when they came up empty, he turned to his old friend, Lester Dukes, the governor of Texas. Dukes owed Vance big-time, so he put his top Enforcer, Yancey Bannerman, on the case.
There was just one problem.
Someone, somewhere, was determined to make sure Laura Vance stayed hidden … and were willing to kill anyone who got too close.
Meanwhile, Yancey's partner, Johnny Cato, was having a tough time of his own. Posing as a buffalo hunter, he was on the trail of a vicious political assassin … an assassin who was determined to add Johnny to his list of kills during a terrifying buffalo stampede!
