Dogs of the Captain

"The house on the hill in Merridan belonged to Captain Slocum. It was regarded as a house of mystery, and it was protected by dogs that ran the grounds at night and armed men who allowed no visitors, even when the captain was away from the house, which he often was. At just twelve years old, Don Grier braved the terrors of the captain's domain to steal a watermelon- a feat that made him a local hero. Don lives with his mean-spirited Aunt Lizzie, who took him into her care after the death of his father many years ago. When he discovers that his father had been hanged for killing his own brother in a mining camp, Don is devastated. Sure that his father was innocent and that the charges against him were trumped up, Don decides to clear his father's name. He will have to go to Chalmer's Creek, where the murder occurred, to learn the truth. His mentor is none other than the man who guarded the captain's house on the hill- a man who is somehow enslaved to the captain. When he finally arrives at Chalmer's Creek, Don Grier will become both the hunter and the hunted..."--Page [2] of cover.

  • "The house on the hill in Merridan belonged to Captain Slocum. It was a house of mystery, protected by dogs that ran the grounds at night and armed men who allowed no visitors, even when the captain was away from the house. Don Grier was still a boy when he braved the terrors of the captain's domain to steal a watermelon. It made Don Grier a hero, and a hero has to be challenged. Don's father had been executed for killing his brother. Don cannot believe the charge is true and increasingly is determined that he must go to Chalmer's Creek, where the murder occurred, and learn the truth. On the way there Don is given training in the fighting skills he will need by the man who always guarded the captain's house on the hill, a man somehow enslaved to the captain. Once at Chalmer's Creek, Don finds himself playing a dual role: the hunter and the hunted."
  • "Don's father had been executed for killing his brother. Believing that it isn't true, Don plans to go Chalmer's Creek, where the murder happened. But first he will undergo intensive training from the Swede, a man somehow enslaved to the Captain, the owner of the mysterious house on the hill, where Don, as a child, would trespass to test his courage."

  • "When the character of Cole Lavery first appeared in the 1940s, readers immediately fell in love with the jack-of-all-trades who had a slow smile and a fast gun. And now, for the first time in paperback, all the Cole Lavery stories have been finally collected in one volume. The action flows seamlessly from one adventure to the next as Cole battles river pirates, a notorious bandit, and an unscrupulous robber baron; as he journeys to California on a wagon train beset by smallpox; and as he strives to attain the land and freedom that can only be found in the American West."@en
