That was the price on Jack Rodiker's head. But after seven years on the run, the tough-muscled young cowpuncher had only one thing on his mind--vengeance. A woman's word had branded him an outlaw, and he'd come back to his home range to clear his name. "When I take her by the throat," he said, "she'll tell me what I want to know!" But the Santsander Valley was rumbling with a lot more than a worn-out murder charge. A bloody battle for power was about to flame up, and Rodiker found himself right in the middle before he had a chance to shuck his trail-grown beard. There was fighting a-plenty, with guns and rock-hard fists. And when the outlaw got to the bottom of the violence between Yank Arnold and the old man Bevarts, he found an answer to his own grim question."-- ER -
