Spur Award-winning AuthorBill Lang wasn't exactly on the run. He had hired out as a gunman to enforce a big rancher's claims to open range outside Trinidad, Colorado. A range war had ensued and a county election had brought in a new sheriff. That was what had prompted Bill to head for Wyoming. A shooting in a Cheyenne saloon put Bill on the trail again, but this time he was actually pursued, by the father and brothers of the man he had killed in a fair fight. The Flynn clan were little better than renegades, but they had the force of numbers. They ran down Bill Lang, when by a turn of unexpected good fortune Jake Murdock happens on the scene. By extremely accurate shooting, four of the pursuing Flynn clan are downed in action. With a panoramic view of a twenty-year period in Wyoming, Wayne D. Overholser provides a thrilling and dramatic account of frontier life.Wayne D. Overholser won three Spur Awards from the Western Writers of America and has a long list of fine Western titles to his credit.
