U.S. Marshal Gideon Miles is on a well-deserved vacation to visit family in Overton, Nebraska. It will be anything but restful, or pleasant, when his path crosses with a couple of jail-breaking hardcases, a young man in desperate need of guidance, and a revenge-seeking, ruthless killer. Miles to Lost Dog Creek is a long-short story by Ron Scheer in the Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles series. It also includes the bonus Cash Laramie adventure "Origin of White Deer" by Edward A. Grainger and Chuck Tyrell.
