Plot Summary of Milo Talon
"Milo Talon, a drifting western man, is hired on by Jefferson Henry to search for a missing heir. What Jefferson didn't tell Talon is that this girl may hold the key to millions in gold and Jefferson will stop at nothing to get it. But, Talon soon realizes that this is not a simple missing person case and the vicious gunmen on his trail are there to insure Talon delivers the goods. Milo does discover the missing heir, who's in in her own search for the gold, and an entirely different mystery unravels. In the end, Milo must fight through the gunmen, convince Henry that the search is fruitless and save the beautiful woman that truly holds the key to a lifetime of treasure.   "
