The top secret justice riders of Company "Z" – most of them Texas Rangers – prefer to let the law take its own course. But sometimes the law loses its way. Like it did in the case of Eloise Charmain – her savagely murdered body left bleeding in the dust. The prosecution suspect, "Handsome" Phil Foote, hired a slick lawyer who practice was crookeder than a rattler's path. Eyewitness began to vanish. Money changed hands. A pair of hardcase drifters provided a bogus alibi. Suddenly it looked like an open-and-shut-case. But nobody figured on the hard-riding vengeance of Company "Z". J.T. Edson brings to life the fierce and often bloody struggles of untamed West. His colorful characters are linked together by the binding power of the spirit of adventure -- and hard work -- that eventually won the West. With more than 25 million copies of his novels in print, J.T. Edson has proven to be one of the finest craftsmen of Western storytelling in our time.
