Publisher's Synopsis
The peaceful existence of the Arizona town of Mountain Peak is cruelly shattered by the arrival of a bunch of outlaws, led by the unspeakable killer John Bannock. By murder and intimidation, Bannock quickly takes over the town...but for what purpose? The townsfolk turn to the one person who might possibly save them: Randle Meredith, an urbane Eastern gentleman - until, that is, somebody crosses him. Meredith sets out to discover why Bannock should have targeted their town, and soon there are no holds barred in what becomes a personal duel between Meredith and Bannock.
