Synopsis

In this thrilling new installment in bestselling author Ralph Compton’s The Gunfighter series, a man wakes
with no memory of who he is—or why someone wants him dead.

A gunman without a gun wakes up in Death Valley. He has no recollection of how he got there or even his own
name. He’s a dead man walking until his luck turns. He stumbles upon the homestead of a widow and her young son
who nurse him back to health.

In the desert good deeds come at a cost. The amnesiac is being trailed by hard men who want answers he doesn’t
have. First a group of gunslingers then a troop of soldiers threaten the innocent family. Their only hope of rescue is the
very man who got them in this predicament.

But how can he help them when he doesn’t even know who he is? At least the men who want to kill him seem to
know his name. Maybe they’ll put it on his gravestone.
