About This Book

An escaped outlaw who killed men during his jailbreak returns to the Bad Lands to fulfill a dying comrade's pledge, eluding troopers while accompanied by a woman who helped free him but later repents; scouts, posses, and a half-breed tracker pursue a series of raids and hostage-taking culminating in a final stand at an old stockade. The narrative follows tense pursuits, betrayals, shifting loyalties, and the woman's moral turnaround leading to marriage with a trooper, and the outlaw's eventual doom, interweaving action scenes, manhunts, and frontier justice.
