Geraldi lived by his gun and his wits. But

when the hot-tempered hotel owner

wanted revenge as well as the return of

the thousand dollars Geraldi had lifted

from his pocket, flight seemed the best

defense. He would have fallen a victim to

the impromptu posse if Louise Asprey

had not hidden him, a stranger, from his

angry pursuers. Now she begged him to

find her father, a rich mine owner who

for five years had been an outlaw, wanted

for shooting a man in a gamblers brawl.

Louise was not the only person eager

to have Asprey found. Her father s cous-

in Edgar, hoping to get control of

Asprey s fortune, offered Geraldi ten

thousand dollars to murder the mine

owner. When Geraldi r,:fused, Edgar

hired Dick Renney, a notorious killer, to

do the job, telling him where he could

find his victim. Geraldi had to follow

Renney if he was to save Louise s father,

but how long could he escape from alert-

ing the dangerous Renney that he was

shadowing him?

Max Brand is at his exciting best in

this action-packed story of two gunmen

who follow the trail of an outlaw--one

to warn him, the other to kill him.
