In this Ralph Compton western, home is a battlefield.... Buck Fletcher, infamous shootist, was once a boy raised in a cabin near Two-Bit Creek in Montana. Returning home to pay his respects at his parents' graves, Buck finds an unconscious woman in the woods-bleeding from a head wound. She might be the victim of a range war that's brewing in the territory. Buck soon finds himself drawn into the escalating conflict-courted by one side, threatened by the other. What the feuding ranchers don't realize is that Buck's guns aren't for sale-and if anyone gives him trouble, he'll start shooting lead for free.... More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
