Hired gun Lou Bellanger had just started his poker game when the law caught up with him. But the fastest draw in Arizona Territory managed to make a daring escape and was just starting to breathe easy when he heard the sheriff had been killed in cold blood. The last thing Lou wanted to do was go back to that hostile town and clear his name. Besides, he had a job to do—a job that ended up leading straight into an all-out range war. With a posse ready to string him up for murder at his back and a gang of bloodthirsty hardcases ahead of him, Lou better have more than an ace up his sleeve if he hopes to stay alive.
