"The Lone Trail" by Luke Allan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to be set in the Canadian West, focusing on the characters involved in cattle ranching and law enforcement, particularly the Royal North-West Mounted Police. The opening chapters introduce Inspector Barker and Corporal Faircloth, who become embroiled in a murder investigation amidst the backdrop of ranch life and local dynamics, hinting at themes of justice, camaraderie, and the complexities of frontier life. At the start of the novel, we meet Inspector Barker as he prepares his weekly report in Medicine Hat, a town frequented by the Calgary express. The narrative shifts rapidly when he receives news of a murder involving a local rancher, prompting an investigation filled with tension and urgency. The subsequent introduction of Morton Stamford, a tenderfoot editor, adds depth to the plot as he navigates his new surroundings and seeks to make sense of the violent events unfolding around him. The chapters detail the interactions among various characters, including the enigmatic ranch owner Cockney Aikens and other cowboys, setting the stage for a story rich in intrigue and dramatic relationships.
