Jess Bogan was big -- even for a Texan. He stood a head taller than most men. A broken nose and a knife-scarred face showed the results of a lifetime of brawling. In the Mexican badlands he'd found a mountain of gold. Now he was heading home with a fortune in ore -- and the secret knowledge of where to get more. Ahead of him lay danger-cut-throat bandidos who would kill you for your boots...slick frontier con men...Apache renegades...and gun-crazy border toughs. Let 'em come! Bogan had gone through hell for his fortune and no gunslick alive could take it from him!
