Tom Kedrick is hired by a financial syndicate to run off a gang of vagrants and outlaws who are occupying a sizable strip of land that the syndicate has filed, claiming it is unusable swamp. To Kedrick’s dismay, these “vagrants and outlaws” turn out to be hard working ranchers and farmers who have improved the lands they have claimed and are determined to resist any effort to disenfranchise them. When Kendrick confronts his employers, he is soon caught between a rock and a hard place—marked for death by both the syndicate’s killers and the suspicious farmers. Was ever a gunfighter in a worse predicament?

“L’Amour never writes with less than a saddle creak in his sentences and more often with a desert heat wave boiling up from a sun-baked paragraph. A master storyteller…for reading under the stars.” — Kirkus Reviews

" This is a Louis L'Amour book I haven't read before. It was a pretty good story and a quick easy read (or listen in my case). Nothing earth shattering but just a fun read. "
" Another good western read by Mr. L'Amour. This was a basic western story that Louie L'Amour was so good at telling. I listened to the audio CDs on my way to and from work and it made the time in traffic go by rather quickly. "
" Same plot, different facts, but a fun read. "
