Many a hardcase had died trying to take the bank and settle an old score at the same time. But he never counted on meeting a beautiful woman and her trail-savvy but reckless father, headed straight for Apache country. Now Consindine and his gang can either ride like hell for the border just ahead of an angry posse, or join the old man and his daughter in a desperate last stand against blood-hungry warriors. The choice is simple: risk the hangman's noose or an Apache bullet.

The blurb on the older editions of this book--the one I have--always stated that Louis L'Amour writes stories that "take off like a bullet". And they do; that is no lie. This ones does that. Considine robs a bank on the second page of the book and hurries toward the Mexican border. But he has seen this girl and when he sees her agains he knows she is the one for him. Only she is surrounded by Apaches. He does the right thing and drops the gold and sets out to rescue her. Behind him of course is a posse. He has few chances in succeeding in either saving the girl or getting away with the money. A typical L'Amour product worthy of being read.
