"Murphy, the Regulator, returns to action
in a thrilling and challenging frontier forensics
mystery.
Murphy's plans for semi-retirement
with his newfound love, Sally, are put on
hold when he is called back to action by his
boss, William Burke, who is a special assistant
to the president. Counterfeit money is
turning up in banks all across the west and
could threaten the American economy and
stock market if left unchecked. Leaving
Sally at his Washington home, Murphy
heads west to pick up the trail of the counterfeit
money.
The investigation spans months,
during which time Murphy encounters
Mary Kate Ritchie, a rising star in the cattle
industry, outlaw Johnny Ringo, and a mysterious
Japanese diplomat named Kyoto,
who claims to be learning the American
cattle business firsthand in the west. Along
the way, Murphy is also aided by his old
friends Apache Chief Ten Moons and his
son, Two Bears.
Chasing his quarry across unforgiving
mountains and deserts, Murphy is at his
deadliest as he closes in on the man behind
the scheme that threatens a nation.
