The cover of the paperback version I have says this is, " a supercharged novel of the west in the great tradition of High Noon". And that is an apt comparison in this regard: The killer was no coward, and the hunter was no hero; but he had long ago decided that sometimes the only way to live as a man was to die like one. Dave Denver was no hero; he was a typical man trying to make a living. Yet, he had a past memory he could not get rid of--the memory of his best friend's body lying dead in ambush, and someday he knew the man or men who did this would pay. Eve Leverage is the love interest, and she knows something is not right within Dave, but accepts the inevitable. An early work of Ernest Haycox that shows the coming greatness of the man with his clearly drawn characters and the real life simulating events which take place in this book. Great book.
