Description
In a harsh Arizona border town, aging constable Bob Valdez is forced to kill an innocent man after a powerful rancher manipulates the facts and unleashes his hired guns. Determined to secure justice for the dead man’s pregnant Apache widow, Valdez confronts the town’s ruling elite—but their brutal response transforms his principled mission into a dangerous reckoning. Outnumbered yet relentless, he relies on experience, courage, and extraordinary marksmanship as he takes on a ruthless adversary and the men who serve him. A taut, unsentimental Western, the novel explores justice, racism, honor, revenge, and the moral cost of violence in Elmore Leonard’s lean, hard-edged style.
