Description

Ralph Compton's Gunfighter series is back with the story of an East Texas farmer pulled into the world of outlaws when he discovers the one thing that could bring him closer to his traitorous brother- his death. Brothers Ike and Cal Breckenridge, sons of a hardscrabble East Texas farmer, hadn't seen eye to eye in years. Ike, the elder, returned home soon after the Civil War to help his father run the family farm; Cal deserted his military post to join forces with bloodthirsty outlaw Frank Miller. Everyone knew who was the good son and who was the bad. Ike had almost forgotten his wayward brother until the morning he stood on the porch and saw a limping horse slowly making its way toward the house. Slumped in the saddle was young Cal Breckenridge, shot in the back, badly beaten, and dying. It was then that Ike finally realized blood runs thicker than water, and he vowed to avenge Cal's death.
