Jim Bannister hoped he wouldn't be recognized when he rode into the tiny town of Antelope, Colorado, but he had to take that risk. His life depended on Syndicate Agent Boyd Seldon who he hoped to find there ... A few months earlier he had busted out of jail in New Mexico, and there was a £12,000 price tag on his head. Things were going smoothly enough - until he accidentally got pulled into a fight over Kelsey Harbord, daughter of the murdered ex-foreman of the powerful Buckhorn Ranch. Then Jim knew that he was getting involved in a potential range war - but he couldn't help feeling that this was his only chance to convince Selden that he had murdered in self-defense.
