Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "Life had been good to John Sessions in the three years since he had settled on this cattle ranch in Brush Creek, Kansas. Even now, as he returned from one of his infrequent trips to town, he thought warmly of his snug house in the valley and of his wife and their two sons. But his happiness was shattered into disbelief and horror when he reached home and found his wife scalped, his sons brutally murdered, and his house burned to the ground. It looked like the work of Indians until he noticed that his hidden nest eg was gone and realized that only white men had any use for $3,000 in bank notes. Sessions swore that the men who had murdered his family would not die easily. But when he succeeded in tracking down the killers, he found himself locked in a deadly contest of nerves to see who would kill whom first."-- Back cover.
