William W. Johnstone ~ A hard term in Yuma prison gave Ralph Tinsdale and his gunhawk sidekicks time to nurse a deep hatred for Smoke Jensen, the man who put them there. A bloody escape gives them a chance to get even. But they aren’t acting alone. Their posse is already forty strong, the price on Smoke’s head is up to twenty grand. With Jensen’s own wife shanghied into Tindale’s deadly trap, there’s more at stake than Smoke’s own life. With the Arapaho and Shoshoni for allies, and his .45 Colt for cover, Smoke is armed and waiting. Now, only the Green Mountains stand between Jensen’s iron will and his enemies’ lust for vengeance.
