Pulitzer Prize nominee Ralph Cotton pits a gang of grizzled bank robbers against a straight-shooting sheriff in this fast-paced Western. Sheriff Cray Dawson's quick-draw reputation keeps most criminals away from his Texas town of Somos Santos. But it doesn't keep the motley Walker Gang away for long. Although they temporarily divert their bankrobbing plans to a neighboring town, they soon stumble on a way to weaken him. But will a strategic kidnapping and an unexpected ally undermine Dawson's resolve to do what he must?
