Longarm can't believe his ears. A gang of Starbuck ranch hands has been arrested for rustling and murder--and Ki is the ringleader! The marshal reckons some fool has made a mighty big mistake...until he learns that the person pressing charges is none other than the Lone Star lady herself--Jessica Starbuck. Jessie swears her right-hand man is guilty as sin. Ki swears he's innocent. And Longarm is just plain swearing--because if Ki is telling the truth, then Longarm's lovely lady friend is a liar...or crazy. The only sure thing is that something strange is going on... Only Jessie Starbuck can set things right. But she's lying low--and if Longarm can't find her, Ki will be hanging high!.
