Overview

Two men try to escape a town of terror in this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series. The bustling town of Rawhide Flat is bursting at the seams with hard men and their hard-earned cash from working the nearby Comstock Lode. So when the bank is robbed and two civilians cut down, a posse delivers its own justice-leaving only Judah Walsh alive. Walsh knows the only hand he can play is to tell where his gang hid the money. In return, he wants a horse, a hundred bucks-and a free ride out of the state. But the people of Rawhide Flat would rather torture the information out of him. Lucky for Walsh, protection arrives in a hail of bullets from U.S. Deputy Marshal Augustus Crane, who has come to bring Walsh into federal custody. But Crane getting Walsh out of jail is one thing-getting out of town alive is another... More Than Six Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
