Summary, Etc. "Tragedy visits two amiable brothers from the moment they make camp in the foothills of New Mexico. When John sets off in search of supplies but fails to return after several days, his brother Mark comes across a shocking, horrifying sight: a tree with a branch scarred by a rope, and next to it a freshly dug grave. And hidden in the underbrush nearby lies his brother's saddle. Rumors soon begin to reach Frank Hadley, constable of the sleepy trading-post hamlet of Blythe: who is the surly stranger around town -- a faded range rider with a large chip on his shoulder? Powerful cowman Chet Small wants to know who killed his ranch foreman, and the operator of the local stagecoach wants to know who's been stealing his horses. Why is Mark Forrest challenging Small's men and then coldly gunning them down on the dusty streets of Blythe? Have the Small ranch hands been taking the law into their own hands? Why won't young Jack Brady tell what he knows about the shootings, and maybe prevent further bloodshed? And why won't Mark utter a single word in his own defense? Frank Hadley can barely manage to keep the peace as Blythe becomes the stage for a bloody vendetta, erupting in a vicious cycle of vengeance and fury."-- Provided by publisher.
