The Odds Against Circle L"Tag Landry's brother meant to kill him, and in a drunken frenzy might just as easily shoot the old man too. Tag realized that he was outnumbered as he returned at last to Landry, Wyoming. There were too many on the old home place who saw only the price tag on his head. But he's already stuck his neck out, and too many lives and too much land depended on Tag staying alive. So with his hands ready for action, and his guns loose in their holsters, Tag came back onto the Circle L, facing the memory of the first man he'd ever killed--the man whose ghost threatened his life today." -- back cover. |
