Description

There's a snake in this grass in this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series... Dane Kramer looks forward to the day when his sprawling Oklahoma cattle ranch will truly be his-no strings attached. With only one more bank payment to make, and a buyer in Omaha ready to pay top dollar for a herd of Herefords, he should finally have the banker Earl Throckmorton off his back. But Earl has a plan to keep the ranch for himself, and if he has his way, Dane's herd will never make it across the Omaha Trail-and Dane won't make it home alive... Up against Earl's hired gang of outlaws, Dane must do whatever it takes to bring in the herd-but Earl has more than one trick up his sleeve. Planting one of his own men in Dane's newly hired team of cowhands could be just the insurance he needs... More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
