"A veteran of the Civil War, Emmet Lang returned home to find his family murdered and the family farm destroyed. Wandering bitter and disillusioned, he struck upon an ideal way to make a living: stealing from criminals. An Indian Affairs agent is traveling by stagecoach to Denver carrying forty thousand dollars he embezzled from funds destined to help the native tribes. At a way station, Lang and his gang of three outlaws hold up the stagecoach and relieve him of the forty thousand. It's the perfect crime - until Lang's men betray him."--Back cover.
