About the book
L'Amour's protagonist, Trace Jordan, makes a hard but honest living. Unscrupulous thugs kill his partner and steal his horses. But crime doesn't pay for the villains of this fast-paced western drama. Not only does Trace get the better of the bad guys, he finds love in wide empty spaces of Arizona - New Mexico.
