It was more than Shawn Starbuck had reckoned for. Unceasingly he had searched for his brother--a legacy at stake for them both--asking endless questions on numberless trails, in sun-baked towns, at desolate huts and sprawling ranches . . . and now it seemed, at long last, his searching would end. Only it wasn't that simple. Suddenly there were three desperate men on the scene--cutthroats and renegades--each staunchly determined to see Starbuck dead. If they couldn't do the job, the richest man in the territory would hire gunslingers who could. Starbuck had a choice. He could turn tail, clear out, and save his hide. But he wasn't the kind of man who dodged trouble--no matter what the odds.
