As much murder mystery as western, a young medical student forsakes the scalpel for the branding iron, and is involved in a power struggle for a ranch.Excerpt:It was a tense moment. Life and death hung in the balance, and every one looking on understood. Tough they knew for a man who yielded nothing in face of a challenge. Caleb Wilmington needed nothing to convince them of his purpose. There was fight - fight to the death in every detail of his attitude. There was murder in the fixed sheen of his hard eyes. But it was the cold calculation of a very different temperament from the other's, whose fury raged like a blazing furnace that was visible to all.
