To some, Henry Whiteoak is an outlaw. Some see him as a simple salesman out to ply his trade from the back of a garishly painted wagon. In the Badlands of the Dakota Territories, Henry Whiteoak crosses paths with a string of bounty hunters out to claim the growing price that had been put on his head. Unfortunately, the men he's wronged throughout his colorful past don't intend on letting Whiteoak live long enough to spend the money he stole. At least Henry has a few friends that see the medicine man for what he truly is: a man who has a good heart buried somewhere beneath all those layers of fancy clothes.

“Part-hero, part-scoundrel. Professor Henry Whiteoak…is a major part of what makes this book so much fun.” —HISTORICAL NOVEL SOCIETY
