Tom Healy was in trouble. His theatrical troupe needed to get
to Alder Gulch, Montana, and the weather was turning. Andy Barker
promised Tom he could get them there safely, but Tom was reluctant
to trust him: he had the lives of three actresses to consider,
and his personal feelings for Janice further heightened his concern.
Then King Mabry showed up. Although Tom didn’t like the way he
looked at Janice, he could see that Mabry made Barker uneasy.
So Tom invited Mabry to join them. Tom was right to be worried,
because Barker had a plan. He knew that the wagons carried something
more than actors and scenery. He and his men were going to steal
it any way they could. And that included murder.
