Synopsis

With over four million Ralph Compton books in print, the grand Western tradition is not being put out to pasture any time soon. After years of driving cattle and wearing a ranger’s badge, disaffected Texan Ed Wright retires—intent on drowning his sorrows with whiskey. But widowed rancher Unita Nance has one last job for him, and she won’t take no for an answer.
