His name was Taggart and he rode with a price on his head through the bloodred canyons of Apache country. Behind him was a ruthless bounty hunter -- the deadliest lawman in the West. In front of him was a fortune in gold -- and a pretty young woman hell-bent on carrying that fortune to safety.

Suddenly Taggart was faced with a choice. He could either keep riding and leave the stubborn lady to fate and the Apaches. Or he could stay and help her make it out alive. But for a man like Taggart the answer was simple. He would stay. Even if it meant cutting off his own escape -- even if it meant doubling his chance of death.
