But he still takes his responsibilities as a deputy US marshal very seriously. Bandits have been crossing the border, cutting a bloody swath of mayhem—stealing horses, robbing banks, and murdering innocent folk—then high-tailing it back to safety in Mexico.  . . . for the last time. The chief US marshal asks Chet to lead a secret task force to stop the raids and round up the border bandits—dead or alive. But the bandits fight back—putting a five-hundred-dollar bounty on Chet’s head. Now he’s got bushwhackers to deal with, and when he’s led into an ambush, it’s kill or be killed in a life-or-death showdown . . . “Dusty Richards writes . . . with the flavor of the real West.” —Elmer Kelton
