|| SYNOPSIS || Railroad bull Hook Runyon and his dog, Mixer, are chasing persistent pickpockets on the Santa Fe line, when Hook is called to investigate a malfunctioning wigwag signal in the middle of nowhere. A young man has been strung up there, hung from the signal, and left strangled to death. Hook finds no identification on the body, other than a bronze star around the corpse's neck with the name Samuel Ash engraved on it. Refusing to bury what seems to be the body of a World War II hero in a pauper's grave, Hook vows to find the dead boy's family, as well as his killer.
