It is, Chip says, the face of Doloritas Ruan -- a woman in deadly peril. The stunning, haunting beauty of that face irresistibly draws Joe on a journey to Mexico with Chip, to rescue her from danger. At the mysterious house/fortress of Casa Ruan, the beautiful Doloritas awaits But both the woman and this ancient dwelling hide some deadly secrets -- and Joe soon finds himself trying not only to save the beautiful senorita, but also to save himself from sudden death! Carcajou is the French-Canadian name for the wolverine -- a beast with the power of a wolf, the tenacity of a bulldog and, it is said, the soul of Satan.

But his plans change when he acquires the great dog Slaughter; meets Anne Kendal, a woman who's the match of any man; and joins a deadly search for lost gold -- a quest that will lead him to a baptism of blood that alters the course of his life and earns him the nickname "Carcajou."
