Cooper Dutton and his bunch of butchers were cutting a wide swath of terror through the state. Anyone was fair game for Dutton's guns, but in particular the outlaw was hunting down and getting even with all the people who'd put him in prison ... and that included Yancey Bannerman. Rather than wait for Dutton to come to him, Yancey decided to take the fight to him. Only trouble was, Yancey vanished almost immediately, not to be seen or heard from again. Governor Dukes had no choice but to send his next best man, Johnny Cato, to find out what had become of him. And when Cato discovered a decomposed body buried beneath rocks, he hit the vengeance trail, his mission to settle with every last one of Yancey's killers!
