AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'When Phillip Gentry made his daring escape from gaol and met up with the Reverend Howard Pierce, it seemed that luck was on his side. He had no thought of murder in his mind, but circumstances drove him to kill—and then step into another man's shoes. Living another man's life—preaching a gospel in which he had no faith—Gentry found time to plan another future for himself—but suddenly fate, in the person of the lovely Lucy, stepped in and brought Phillip Gentry's story to an unexpected and surprising end.'
