Description

A family fights their demons on a dangerous cattle drive in this Ralph Compton western. Doc Blaine has signed a big contract with a cattle buyer up in Kansas. After a couple more good springs, Doc might finally be able to retire, but for now he'll have to contend with a band of marauding brothers who are out for vengeance against the Blaines. Another set of brothers might prove to be the bigger liability-his own sons. Doc needs sizeable herds from each, but Miles and Jared Blaine have been feuding for years over the same woman-even after Miles married her. And Jared once vowed that someday he would kill his younger brother-a threat he never took back... But Doc believes he can get both sons to Kansas-as long as one doesn't know the other is making the same drive... More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
