The ghost town of Mender's Crossing was the ideal base for a gang of outlaws to operate from without interference. Then, a group of soldiers are killed defending a gold-train and the army calls upon special operator Steve Landers to investigate. Now, Landers must face not only the gang but land baron Hal Clegg, whose hired mercenaries are driving independent ranchers off their land. He will need nerves of steel if he is to succeed when he is so heavily outnumbered. Can he cheat the odds and win?
To Clem Winters and Doc Foran, as they rode slowly west through the wide cattlelands, the name of the Texas Dusters was little more than a legend they had heard in the bigger towns along the trail. But it was soon obvious that to the men around the isolated township of Bitter Ridge it was more than a name, for these were the slickest band of cattle rustlers in the business. As strangers in town, it was not long before Winters and Doc found themselves in real trouble, suspected of being in cahoots with the rustlers. When the showdown came they would have to prove themselves two of the fastest, straightest-shooting lawmen in the whole of the West. Sudden death was the grim alternative.
