Drew Woodson thought he was running a lucky streak. First he won a claim from Blackjack Logan in a poker game, and then it yielded a lucky strike. But the feeling turned when his stash of gold and his young partner, Tommy Garth, turned up missing.

Drew realized that Blackjack Logan, who threw in with Reno Slade’s gang, had taken revenge by capturing Tommy and stealing his gold.

Drew dreaded telling the beautiful Celene, Tommy’s fiancé, that Tommy had 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.
