Knight of the Tiger is gripping historical fiction taken from stories of those who lived the times to reveal a portrait of betrayal and justice seen through the eyes of betrayed and betrayer in the 1915/1916 civil war between Pancho Villa and Venustiano Carranza for control of Mexico. Henry Fountain, not long out of medical school, helps Pancho Villa, a good friend from his youth, only to escape execution as Villa descends into darkness raging against his betrayal by the United States and his inability to win battles with cavalry charges against machine guns and soldiers in trenches. It is a picture of a once great warrior plunging to the edge of insanity and of a young man discovering betrayal is a two-edged sword.

Albert's wife, Mariana Pérez de Ovante, believing no one would attack a man traveling with a little boy, had begged Albert to take Henry with him. When Albert acquiesced, she asked Henry to be her knight and protect his father. She gave him a carved ivory horsehead watch fob to remind him of her pride in his courage. The historical facts are that on that windy, freezing day, the first of February 1896, Albert and Henry Fountain disappeared...
