Repentant Gun...Before reaching the age of twenty Hugh Morgan had already planted a fair share of brag-talking jaspers under the Kansas sod. Dog-weary of the killing that went along with a gunhawk rep, he lit out for the South Texas plains to try his hand at ranching on Buck Colter's Goliad spread. But dying could come just as quick on the Nueces Strip as it did on the Abilene streets. And if the young gun reckoned he'd holstered his shooting irons for good in the dusty Kansas cowtown, he was wrong..dead wrong! For Morgan, there was more to punching beeves that just roping and branding. Seems the hard country was breeding ground for the slimiest bunch of murderers, cattle rustlers and horse thieves north of the Rio Grande. And when his boss, Buck Colter, was brought down trailing the back-shooting Mexican bandito, Juan Flores, Morgan's dream of escaping his gunslick past was buried forever in the Texas dust. The lightning draw was strapping on his side arms once again. But this time his blazing Colts were fixing to sing a deadly new tune--revenge!
