Publisher's Synopsis
Old Dick Clayton and his niece Hope were in big trouble. The local land baron, bully-boy Aldo Latimer, wanted their ranch - at any cost. But what made the old Clayton place worth so much to him? Why was he willing to try every dirty trick in the book to get it? All Dick and Hope knew was that they needed protection...and when Buck Halliday rode in, they figured they'd found it. Buck wasn't looking for gun-work right then, but he liked the pair. So he signed on. But the stakes were so high that soon he wasn't sure who he could really trust...
