Description

The old man and his lovely 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 Clayton knew was that they needed protection ... and when Buck Halliday rode in, they figured they'd found it. Halliday wasn't looking for gun-work right then, but he liked the old man, and there was something about Hope that got under his skin and made him think it was time to settle down. So he signed on.But the stakes were so high that soon, Halliday wasn't sure who he could really trust - not old Dick, not Hope ... and certainly not his arch rival, Aldo Latimer's hired gun, Rees Mann.
