Blurb: “Branch dropped to his knees a fraction of a second before the gun over the railway coach let go. He heard the smash of the shot, all but felt the passage of the bullet above his shoulder.
When he fired back he knew his first shot had missed and he deliberately compensated for the action of the strange Colt by pulling slightly to the left for his second try. The sound of the two guns mingled, bounced between railroad coach and depot front yard. Branch, still unharmed, saw his own bullet take the man yonder and slam him bodily against the side of the coach.
That was Jim Branch's welcome to Latigo. It established his reputation, too, for there was prime money for a good gun hand in that rangeland. It was Paxman against Paxman and each was prepared to pay Jim's price.
But Jim wasn't to be bought for just money. There was a thing called justice he was interested in-and it seemed that neither faction had quite the right amount of that to keep Jim Branch from playing the unwanted role of a third party in their feud.”
OTHER SIDE -
“Bill Lake was regarded as the likable but no-good son of the biggest cowman in the county until the day he was nabbed redhanded robbing the bank. After that, he was looked on as just plain no-good, especially after he'd been packed off to Yuma Prison.
But redhanded or not, Bill claimed he was framed and if there was anything he learned at Yuma it was patience, determination, and the grit to see a thing through. So when he finally rode back to his home range, he had learned a few things.
Like how to bust out of the next franteup, how to outshoot bushwhackers, and how to side a pal with a quickdrawn sigun. And he needed all those lessons just to stay alive-let alone to right the wrong that had been done him.“
