Publisher's Synopsis
Ross Chance feels an old thrill when he steps off the train in Amargosa and takes in the familiar sights of the Mexican town, including the saddle in the mountains to the south: Rancho Pacheco, his childhood home. But Ross's estranged father sold the ranch for reasons unknown, and his recent death is shrouded in mystery. A lot of people have made money and stand to make yet more from what ought to have been Ross's birthright. He has traveled a thousand miles of bleak range back to this spot to discover what happened and why - and no double-crossing partners, crooked lawmen, or swindlers with fake title deeds will stand in his way. The gun in his hand is judge and jury; this land is his, and he will hold it, law or no law...
