(1964)
A novel by

 
 
Abe Marsh has Blundell sewn up and, as top dog, he doesn't see why things should change any. But when Steve Sherman first sets eyes on Marsh his curiosity is piqued - he's sure he's seen the hombre before, though under another name. A name that supposedly belongs to a dead man.
The man who killed his brother.
Add to the equation a range war and a stage coach chock-full of money, due to arrive any day soon, and it's for sure that Blundell ain't a safe place to be. Especially when Marsh's bunch of no-good desperados evince itchy trigger-fingers. What it all adds up to is that good men are gonna die.
One other thing that Steve is curious about - well, it's got more personal than that - and that's why beautiful, young Claire Digby, the daughter of seemingly staunch citizen, Tom Digby, entertains insalubrious visitors when most honest folk are asleep.
Not that troubles come alone; Steve's other problem is the equally beautiful Myra Dean. She blames Steve for her father's death, but that's the least of his troubles.
