"Fight for us or get shot!"

It wasn't a threat Bally Buck made to West Cawinne but a grim prophecy. Two six-gun experts couldn't graze the same range--not when one was Robideau, a half-breed specialist in treachery, and the other was Cawinne, the most ruthless lawman in the Southwest. But Cawinne was tired of fighting, tired of his bloody reputation. He had a ranch and a girl and he wanted peace. Yet if he turned his back on the trouble in Moon Dance, he'd get a bullet in it.

So he tied down his holsters and tramped down the dusty street to meet a vicious outlaw who'd never been beaten on the draw. A whole town held its breath. And a whole town's life hung on the bullet-spattered outcome!
