The day after depositing cash in his account, cattleman Duff MacCallister learns that bank president Joel Prescott embezzled every cent and then, guilt-ridden, committed suicide. Joel was Duff's banker but also his longtime friend. Joel's widow doesn't believe her husband was a thief or that he killed himself. Duff agrees. And after getting an appointment as a territorial marshal, he's aiming his barrel at putting every double-crossing lawman, red-handed outlaw, and corrupt businessman he can rustle up behind bars--or six feet under.-- Back cover.
