Ranz Tanner is down to six cents and a lame horse when he defends a young Mexican girl in a cantina fight; he shoots a man and is sentenced to five years in Yuma Prison. His folks should have named him Bad Luck Tanner - every chance that comes his way, he just naturally seems to pick the wrong side. He can't even get to jail uneventfully. When the man driving the prison wagon kills Stocker MacDermit, the only son of the wealthiest man in Adobe Falls, it triggers a bloody range war and Ranz is right in the middle.--Amazon.com.
