Buffalo Mountain is set to host a gold coin exhibition with dealers coming from all over, and Thumps Dreadful Water winds up with the task of making sure the event goes off without a hitch. As if he didn't already have enough to do. For starters, he and Claire Merchant are trying to work out their relationship. Should they move in together or should they continue on as they have in the past? And there's Sheriff Duke Hockney, who wants Thumps to give up landscape photography and return to law enforcement. And last but not least, Cisco Cruz, the ninja assassin, shows up in town with a fiancé in tow. Can things get any more complicated for our hero? Yes, they can.
