Gunshots echo across the Big Muddy badlands, and Gerrit Nagel's appaloosa horse, Eb, rears and dumps him on the dry grass. Constable Carlyle, his NWMP escort, rides off to investigate and vanishes without a trace.
Gerrit had been on his way through the Big Muddy Badlands to Montana to testify against Dutch Henry, the notorious horse thief... and Gerrit's own cousin.
But the gunshots cut Gerrit's mission short. Left alone on the open range, the young cowboy faces a journey more dangerous than any cattle drive.
A fellow rider named Wart appears out of nowhere, offering help-until he turns on Gerrit, blindfolding and gagging him. Soon, Gerrit's on his horse's back again with Wart behind to keep him from falling off. Voices of other gang members soon tell the tale: He's been kidnapped to keep him from ever reaching the courtroom.
Hours later, Gerrit's trapped in a remote hideout surrounded by hardened criminals. Every moment counts, and every move could mean the difference between freedom and disappearing forever. Yet amid the danger, questions linger-who is Wart, really? An outlaw by choice, or just another young man pulled into a life he never meant to live? Why did Constable Carlyle disappear instead of coming to his rescue? And could the nightly kangaroo court the outlaws hold for their own entertainment at the hideout end his life?
Inspired by a true story, Kidnapped by Outlaws: Escape from the Badlands Hideout is a gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the fight to do what's right-even when it means risking everything.
