Llano Estacado

When buffalo hide hunter Quentin McLeod rescues Carlotta Mainord, a Texas ranch woman taken captive by Comanche raiders, the two survive battles with the Comanches, flash floods and white brigands only to wind up in even more dangerous straits when they make it to apparent safety in Ft. Sumner New Mexico. Carlotta Mainord, injured and helpless in a coma, is placed under the care of Edward Richards, an English expatriate and respected rancher who secretly trades with Comanche raiders, especially dealing with women captives who he sells into slavery in Mexico. McLeod is accused of being a comanchero as well as the injurer of Carlotta Mainord and faces both lynch mobs and a legal hanging jury. It turns out that both Quentin McLeod and Carlotta Mainord have only begun their fight for survival!
