Publisher's Synopsis
Riding in the desert, bounty hunter Frank Clooney's horse goes lame and he hitches a ride with the Carver family, using the alias Sam Rafter. But the Carver family only brings trouble: Ned Carver is a tyrant, and his wife sees Clooney as a way to gain freedom for herself and her daughter. Then outlaw Spitter Larch joins them, and if Larch remembers who Sam Rafter really is, Clooney's life won't be worth a plugged nickel!
