A detective with an impossible task Pinkerton detective, Joshua Brookings, is sent on a job that seems simple on the surface. His fellow detective has been kidnapped and his boss, William Pinkerton, senses foul play. Joshua is sent to investigate Edward's case in hopes of finding the kidnapped detective and helping solve the case that has taken over ten years to investigate. Arriving in Cheyenne, Joshua finds much more than a simple kidnapping. He must go undercover yet again; something he made his boss promise never to make him do again. The only Christian amongst a group of outlaws, Joshua’s faith weakens and almost loses his assurance in God’s providence. Will he stand on the solid Rock or drown in the sinking sand?

3.5-3.75 stars:

I seem to have jumped into this series with what (at the time it was written at least) is the last book in the series. For the most part, I was able to read the story without being lost.

There's a long-term investigation that takes place (over 10 years or so). It's hard to believe that it took that many years to put this together but . . . perhaps I'm just used to our modern day technology that makes it easier to gather evidence.

As it is, this process takes one amateur sleuth and two Pinkerton detectives, two of whom are abducted and kept drugged for a number of days and one who has to go undercover before the case is finally broken. Along with the help of 2 women and a few men of the town.

The Pinkerton detective who finally breaks the case, Joshua, is struggling with a career decision--he likes being a detective when it doesn't involve undercover work (due to a variety of factors--the lies he has to tell, the things he has to hear about). He also misses his family in Montana.

I was glad to see that the author allows us to see Joshua's struggles, but I also have to agree with another reviewer that I'm not sure what it says about Joshua's faith that a month and a half undercover without a Bible shakes it so much. ( )

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned, for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. The voice of him that crieth in the widnerness, Prepare ye the way of Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.--Isaiah 40:1-5
