Jim was able to survive a catastrophe and follow the trail of a man so evil he had not once cares who he killed or how badly he treated people. But, Jim was not going to let this evil man get away with the kidnapping of that "woman on the stage."

But, before the end of his career, it was a hard task and even then the man escaped the gallows and returned seeking his own vengeance.

Good for you.

I've read it twice and I'm sure I will do it again.
