"A bitter feud was raging on the Manitoba prairies. On one side were grim, brawny frontiersmen, turning the wild prairies into splendid wheat ranches; on the other side a colony of swaggering young-bloods who only stirred up trouble. Into the frontiersman group came a fine, determined young man, straight from Cambridge -- and promptly fell in love with a beautiful girl in the enemy ranks. Her unworthy fiance, Craythorne, was one day found murdered. Who killed him?" Bindloss was an English author who only took up writing when his health went bad in his mid-thirties (partly as the result of malaria); many of his books, like this one, were adventure yarns set in western Canada, where he had once farmed as a young man. .
