Galloway's prospects for living were not good. He had out-foxed the Denver card-slicks and was carrying $40,000 of their money and now they were out to kill him. First they had sealed off all the roads. Now they were making a methodical search for Galloway. When they found him, they would play their ace - Jess Maldow, a professional killer who goaded his victims into drawing first, then gunned them down. Sooner or later, Grady Galloway would have to face this man...in a duel to the death.
