It was more than Shawn Starbuck had reckoned for. Unceasingly, he had searched for his brother ... a legacy at stake for them both ... asking endless questions on numberless trails, in sun-baked towns, at desolate huts and sprawling ranches ... and now it seemed, at long last, his searching would end. Only it wasn't that simple. Suddenly, there were three desperate men on the scene, each staunchly determined to see Starbuck dead. If they couldn't do the job, the richest man in the territory would hire gunslingers who could. Starbuck had a choice. He could turn tail, clear out, and save his hide. But he wasn't the kind of man who dodged trouble ... no matter what the odds.
