This book has 163 paperback pages.Ethan Cole was hired to save Louise Marshall from the clutches of notorious outlaw, Eli Colby. When he started out it seemed like a straight forward rescue mission, but instead he rode into a desert hell full of outlaws, bandits, Apache's and a psychotic Rurale out for all he could get.Gunfights and ambushes lurked around every bend in the long, dusty trail. Just when all seemed impossible, three men, a gunfighter, an old safe cracker and a half-breed Apache stepped forward to help.At least Cole now had a chance, even if it was a slim one.
