The hired gun Sundance tries to save a hidden tribe of Indians, and grab an equally hidden cache of gold, in John Benteen's Death in the Lava.
John Benteen was (most of the time) Ben Haas, one of my favorite western writers, and I like his series character Sundance. Sundance had a white father and a Cheyenne mother and lives in both worlds and neither. As a hired gun, he funnels most of his money to Washington D.C. to help with Indian relations. Overall a pretty interesting character.
But the novels never lack for action, as in this one Sundance is besieged on all sides, including by a band of owlhoots from a bandit town called "Hell, Yes!"
I got this one in a stack of Benteen books a friend sent me. A recommended series for western fans.
