The woman he had wronged found him and all that long-held bitterness had turned to hatred. Then the vultures swooped and he was running for his life again...from the sound of gunfire.
Gabe Ronan came back to Paradise Valley after seven years hard time in Purgatory Penitentiary. However, he wasn't expecting to be welcomed back with the sight of masked men and six guns tangling with a sheriff who was mighty tough on ex-jailbirds, or the news that his old pard Johnny Keyes now owned half the valley. But Keyes wasn't the only one of the old bunch still around. They all had guilty consciences and wouldn't believe that Gabe hadn't come back for revenge. And as they started dying out one by one, the finger - and the smoking gun - pointed at only one man.
