Publisher's Synopsis
Blake Durant is one of the crew driving Jay Hurwood's cattle to the railhead at Gabriel. The trail has been hard, but nothing more than he'd expected. Then two murders are committed, right out on the open prairie, and suddenly everyone becomes a suspect. Because there wasn't any love lost between Blake and the victim Joe Sowarth, Joe's brother Lanny is convinced that Blake is the culprit, and figures to even the score any way he can. But there is more going on around Hurwood's trail drive than anyone can imagine. The only way Blake can clear his name is by finding the real killer...and their sinister motive!
