About this item
In this Ralph Compton western, even the most cold-blooded killer can do what's right ... When it comes to taking lives, Lucius Stark is just about the meanest mongrel of a man who ever aimed a gun in West Texas. For him, taking lives means making a living, and if the price is right he'll do the job right. But even hardest of men has a soft spot ... When Stark grows too fond of a woman he is hired to kill in a range war, his client shows his displeasure by shooting him in the back. He is saved by the Butcher family - the very ranchers he was paid to eliminate. But when the Butchers end up slaughtered without mercy, Stark finds himself out to deliver his own brand of vengeance - free of charge.More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
