Summary:
"Kenan Leach was mad clear through . . . Robbed by his partner, betrayed by his wife, he had no reason to stick around San Francisco any more. For a fact, there wasn't anything better he could do than set out to trail his old partner, Nate Morgan. There was money in it -- maybe -- and if Leach had anything to do with it, there'd be blood too. He didn't much care whose, either. . . . Kenan Leach was not a particularly vengeful man -- normally. But things were far from normal. Robbed and stranded on the first leg of his journey, he was so stony broke he couldn't even work up enough money to ride to the brand-new silver-strike town, Virginia City -- where he was reasonably certain he would find his double-dealing ex-partner. Instead, he had to accept handouts from a woman, and a saloon-keeping woman at that, to work his way to where he wanted to go. When Leach finally hit Virginia City, he had really had a crawful. He started looking for Nate with blood in his eye. It never occurred to Leach that anybody'd be looking for him. . . ."-- Provided by publisher.
