Louis L'Amour takes William Tell Sackett on a treacherous passage from
the Arizona goldfields to the booming town of Los Angeles.
Tell Sackett was no ladies' man, but he could spot trouble easily
enough. And Dorinda Robiseau was the kind of trouble he wanted to avoid
at any time--even more so when he had thirty pounds of gold in his
saddlebags and a long way to travel. But when she begged him for safe
passage to Los Angeles, Sackett reluctantly agreed. Now he's on a
perilous journey through the most brutal desert on the continent,
traveling with a companion he doesn't trust . . . and headed for a
confrontation with a deadly gunman who also bears the name of Sackett.
