Synopsis

BLOOD AND BANKERS Dane Kramer looks forward to the day when his sprawling Oklahoma cattle ranch will truly be his-- no strings attached. With only one more bank payment to make, and a buyer in Omaha ready to pay top dollar for a herd of Herefords, he should finally have the banker Earl Throckmorton off his back. But Earl has a plan to keep the ranch for himself, and if he has his way, Dane' s herd will never make it across the Omaha Trail-- and Dane won' t make it home alive Up against Earl' s hired gang of outlaws, Dane must do whatever it takes to bring in the herd-- but Earl has more than one trick up his sleeve. Planting one of his own men in Dane' s newly hired team of cowhands could be just the insurance he needs
