Description

In this sharp-shooting Ralph Compton western, a man of honor becomes an outlaw. Solomon Brakefield tried to play by the rules-and lost. When the mine Sol worked for was robbed, he went after the robbers himself. After he brought the money back, he was given no more than a handshake and a few dollars. Seems like living life on the straight and narrow just doesn't pay. So Sol seeks out Nester Quarles, known killer and train robber, to teach him the tricks of the outlaw's trade. Quarles has plenty to teach, but there's a price to be paid-and the currency is Sol's soul. More Than Eight Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
