by W. C. Tuttle
In the sprawling Tomahawk Valley, aging cattle baron Park Reber rules nearly every ranch, saloon, and dusty street — yet a decades-old betrayal has left him with a bitter enemy in rancher Buck Priest and a lifetime of loneliness. When a gunfight erupts on pay night, June Meline, a sharp-witted violinist with secrets of her own, saves Reber's life and is drawn into the heart of a long-simmering feud. As rustlers thin the great herds and suspicion falls on the elusive half-Cheyenne horseman Jack Silver, hidden loyalties and old wounds collide on the open range. W. C. Tuttle's classic pulp Western from the pages of Adventure Magazine delivers gunsmoke, mystery, and a reckoning twenty years in the making.
