When Blake Durant rode into town that day, two men had already been shot dead. Within a matter of hours, a bunch of back-shooters tried to turn Durant into victim number three. They wrongly assumed he was in cahoots with a man called Moriarty, who planned to bring sheep into what had always been cattle country. But there was more to the town's trouble than a building range war.
The Farrar clan, old Carver and his worthless sons Chris and Lom, planned to claim the territory for themselves, and they'd started with the cold-blooded murder of their neighbors, Ord Mann and his son Lee.
That left Ord's daughter, Sally, all by herself ... and both Carver and Chris had plans for that pretty little filly.
But something about Sally reminded Durant of the woman he'd loved and lost, and that made him want to protect her at any cost. Though he stood accused of murder himself, he decided to stick around until every last threat was neutralized.
