Synopsis: In this western from Charles G. West, a boy without a home meets a man on a mission...
Ever since he was fourteen, Cade Hunter has made his way through his own sweat and blood, with no place to call home. Most think he’s not much more than a drifter. But veteran ranch hand Luke Tucker sees a resourceful youngster who’s as honest as he is tough. Which is why Luke shares a secret with Cade. A secret of Union gold…and cold blood.
When Luke and Cade make a move to find the lost fortune, Luke’s past returns in the form of Lem Snider—a vile, thieving cur who murders Luke and leaves Cade for dead. But Cade isn’t dead. And he’s not planning on dying. Because now he has something to live for. Revenge…
“Rarely has an author painted the great American West in strokes so bold, vivid, and true.”—Ralph Compton
