"Clay Spain was as tough as all the trails he had ridden and as ruthless as the frontier he had roamed. He had looked death in the eyes more than onec. When he rode into the Apache Basin, he found a torn and bloody range straddled by violence and trampled by a cattle king hungry for power. So Clay rode out armed with his gun and his careless courage to bring justice to a land the law had never reached" -- Cover verso.
