The Devil's Game
Drew Woodson thinks he's running a lucky streak. First he wins a claim from Blackjack Logan in a poker game, and then it yields a lucky strike. But the feeling turns when his stash of gold and his young partner, Tommy Garth, turn up missing. Drew realizes that Blackjack Logan, who has thrown in with Reno Slade's gang, has taken revenge by capturing Tommy and stealing his gold.
Drew dreads telling the beautiful Celene, Tommy's fiancée, that Tommy has been kidnapped and probably murdered. But he keeps his doting feelings for her to himself as he delivers the crushing news.
In pursuit of the robbers, Drew finds, not Tommy, but one of the bandits hanged, and he must face the possibility that his own partner has betrayed him. Determined to discover the truth, Drew is forced to become a player in the Devil's Game.
