Présentation de l'éditeur

Across Dry Valley a dust cloud had been moving for hours. It rolled into Saguache at the brisk heels of a bunch of horses just about the time the town was settling itself to supper. At the intersection of Main and La Junta streets the cloud was churned to a greater volume and density. From out of the heart of it cantered a rider, who swung his pony as on a half dollar, and deflected the remuda toward Chunn’s corral. The rider was in the broad-rimmed felt hat, the gray shirt, the plain leather chaps of a vaquero. The alkali dust of Arizona lay thick on every exposed inch of him, but youth bloomed inextinguishably through the grime. As he swept forward with a whoop to turn the lead horses it rang in his voice, announced itself in his carriage, was apparent in the modeling of his slim, hard body. Under other conditions he might have been a college freshman for age, but the competent confidence of manhood sat easily on his broad shoulders. He was already a graduate of that school of experience which always holds open session on the baked desert. Curly Flandrau had more than once looked into the chill eyes of death.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Two men come together in a violent act—yet develop a bond of trust and respect. Curly Flandrau has embarked on a career outside the law. He is young and wild but not mean. Luck Cullison is a former sheriff, now a struggling rancher. After Kate, Cullison’s spirited daughter, saves Curly from a certain lynching, the lives of all meet a new danger. While the nation beyond is rushing forward into a new century, their part of Arizona is clinging to a time when dangers must be faced by men and women willing to take matters into their own hands. Curly Flandrau and Luck Cullison join forces to face a challenge the law proves ill-equipped to handle.
