Synopsis

In this thrilling Ralph Compton western, a rancher is on the hunt for a despicable bandit hiding in plain sight.

Bighorn Point appears to be a quiet town. But when a stranger comes looking for a murderer, it turns out that not all the respectable citizens are what they seem. 

Down-on-his-luck rancher Cage Clayton has been hired to track down and kill Lissome Terry—a man who years ago left a path of death, rape, and robbery in his wake. Though he doesn’t know what Terry looks like, Clayton knows his target is living under an assumed name in Bighorn Point, so finding him shouldn’t be too hard. 

But when Marshall Will Durant only gives Clayton a week to find his man in a town where everyone knows his deadly purpose, catching the crafty outlaw will be anything but easy....
