Three of Max Brand's finest short novels are combined in one book, including "The Whisperer," in which Patricia Lauriston hires four notorious gunfighters to carry out frontier justice; "Flaming Fortune," a tale of love and greed in which repeated attempts are made to break the spirit of hard-working Henry Ireton; and the title story, in which James Lang becomes a sitting target when he is hired to guard a valuable, isolated gold mine. Available only in Western 8 & 14.
