OverviewThe abandoned cabin seemed like a good place to settle down . . . except for the dead man in the front yard. But Doby Kernohan and his father had traveled a long way seeking a new start, and they were in no position to be choosy. Unfortunately, the mysterious man's violent end was an omen of darker events to come, for a cycle of violence that had begun long ago was about to reach an explosive conclusion. Caught in a tangle of murder, greed, and blood vengeance, the Kernohans have no choice but to get involved. And when a mysterious beauty from deep in the surrounding hills and a deadly stranger named Owen Chantry arrive, what had at first seemed like good fortune suddenly becomes a terrifying fight for life itself.

Chantry, a well-educated Shane, finds that his brother Clive has been murdered and his spread taken over by friendly young Doby and his Pa. Some kill-crazy snakes are after a treasure Clive supposedly brought back from Mexico and the clue to where it's buried is in Tennyson's Ulysses, Clive's favorite poem. While the lead flies this way and that, Chantry teaches Doby the meaning of that civilization a-borning on the Plains. Baking-powder dialogue and flash-fire action.
