Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Young lawyer O'Hara gets an auspicious welcome to the town of Concho - a bullet through his hat. And before he has a chance to put up a shingle, he becomes involved in a bloody war between two cattle titans, Wesley Steelman and Dave Ingram. It is war without quarter, and among the two-gun mercenaries employed by both sides, the most notorious is eighteen-year-old Bob Quantrell. Cheerful and fearless, but a cold-blooded killer, Quantrell is loyal only to his own lightning-fast six-gun. O'Hara learns quickly that Colt and Winchester law hold precedence over Blackstone. But it is the passionate love of Barbara Steelman for her father's arch-rival that finally quells the bitter struggle. Still there is bloodshed on the range. Renegades from the cattle war are on the loose; Quantrell himself takes to the hoot-owl trail. And it is the tenderfoot lawyer who carries on a relentless pursuit.
