Condizione: Very Good. Brothers Ike and Cal Breckenridge hadn't seen eye to eye in years. Ike, the elder, returned home soon after the Civil War to help his father run the family farm; Cal deserted his military post to join forces with bloodthirsty outlaw Frank Miller. Ike had almost forgotten his wayward brother until the morning he stood on the porch and saw a limping horse slowly making its way toward the house. Slumped in the saddle was young Cal, shot in the back, badly beaten, and dying. It was then that Ike finally realised blood runs thicker than water, and he vowed to avenge Cal's death.…

Condizione: Very Good. On the day twenty-five-year-old Lewis Taylor was released from the Texas State Prison, he received little attention as he walked free after serving five years for a crime he didn't commit. His only interest was in getting back to Gila Bend, Texas, a quiet farming community about which he had only warm, idyllic memories. During his years in prison, he had survived by thinking fondly of the home he'd known since boyhood - and of Darla Winslow. What he finds upon his return is a town dramatically changed. Once a happy and carefree place to live, it is now populated by people who are angry and afraid. One man, Captain Archer Ringewald, has taken control of the town, and now he's turning the townspeople, even Darla, against Taylor.…
