He as a fugitive from Texas justice. He was hunted like an animal across the western plains, and now, in the uplands of Montana, he had been shot at an knifed by a girl who thought he was another man. Then a driving blizzard locked Jeb and the girl together in a lonely cabin. When the storm died, search parties would be out after the girl. They would find her, and he would be with her.The search party did find them. Unfortunately for Jeb Taylor the sheriff was a member of the party. When happened then is a rapid-fire story of a mysterious man, of a fiery girl who couldn't tell hate from love, of dry-gulching in the Montana hills, and of a bare-knuckle fight that plowed up both death and happiness in its wreckage. With swift, irresistable action, a truly great Western writer spins a fascinating tale about a rugged life.
