A Murderous Madman at large on the Moor, now that is never a good thing…
Inspector John Broom of the Cornish Police joins forces with Tommy Agar-Robartes from Lanhydrock House along with his Head Gamekeeper, a gruff Yorkshireman, to hunt down and re-capture the unhinged fugitive, Pasco Wenn.
They are joined in the task by William “Buffalo Bill” Cody and Chief Felix Flying Hawk of the Lakota tribe, along with a Scotsman, a Cowboy, and a dog called Pepper.
Pasco Wenn is trying to elude his hunters, will he manage to do so before escaping by ship to America, or will he be apprehended and brought to justice by the pursuing search party?

All will be revealed in, “Buffalo Bill and the Beast of Bodmin.”
