Dust devils danced across the sun-scorched plains, a relentless rhythm mirroring the pounding in Matt Keelock's temples. He'd ridden hell-for-leather, leading the posse on a wild goose chase through a landscape that could swallow a man whole. But the vast, unforgiving desert couldn't erase the icy grip of fear that tightened around his heart. Kristina

His simple supply run to Freedom had exploded into a maelstrom of gunfire, a desperate gamble that had left him branded an outlaw. Now, the hangman's noose dangled over him, a grim promise. He'd taught Kris to ride like the wind and shoot straighter than most men, but that didn't quell the terror that gnawed at him. Oskar Neerland, a viper with a venomous grudge, was out there. Matt had dared to snatch Kris from Neerland's grasp, a public humiliation that had ignited a burning, murderous rage. He'd prayed the coward had slithered back East, but a cold dread told him otherwise.

Unbeknownst to Matt, the predator had turned hunter. In the ramshackle town of Freedom, where fortunes were made and lives were broken, Oskar Neerland donned a new badge, a symbol of authority that masked a heart consumed by vengeance. His first command? To lead the very posse that pursued Matt Keelock, a twisted game of cat and mouse played out under the merciless desert sun.

And now, a legend was reborn! Bantam Books unearthed a treasure trove, a lost chapter of the West, with the re-release of this classic Western, forged in the fires of adventure and now enriched with never-before-seen material from the legendary Louis L'Amour and his son, Beau L'Amour. Dive into the heart of the chase, where danger lurks behind every cactus and survival is a battle fought with grit and gunpowder.
