Back in El Paso no one ever accused ex-cavalryman Troy Banner of being overly heroic or steadfast or even friendly. He was just known for his good aim and his bad temper, and most smart men steered clear of him. But Lance Kinnion had once saved Troy’s life. So when Lance asked Troy to rescue his fiancÔee from some Mexican kidnappers, Banner gave it his best shot. Yet he knew he was crazy to do it. For if the hostile Indians between El Paso and Mexico failed to kill Troy, the border bandits were sure to succeed. And even if they failed, there was no chance of saving the girl or himself from the clutches of her captor.
