The town had a problem.
Years earlier, a cuckolded rancher named Duke Sabien had killed his wife and her lover on Main Street, then lit out. No one in town went after him. Instead, they tore down his fences and divided up his land and livestock between them ... and hoped never to see Sabien again.
But Duke Sabien had other ideas.
Every year thereafter he came back to town to settle things with the men who'd stolen his land. One by one, they died ... and the town began to live in dread of his next visit.
Mostly recently Sabien robbed the bank and killed the three posse men who went after him. The local lawman asked Blake Durant to take them back to town while he continued his manhunt, and Blake was happy enough to help out. But instead, he bought into a mess of greed and murder that, in the end, only he could sort out.
And he found a woman who might just take the place of Louise Yerby, the love he'd lost so many years earlier ...
