Behind him were a prison escape and two dead, guards.
Ahead lay freedom, the posse and his determination not to be taken alive.
FUGITIVE
This was his fourth day of living with a price on his head-his fourth day of dodging the posses that sprang up everywhere, spurred on by the thousand dollar reward offered for his capture.
He was starved and weary, a desperate man looking for a safe hideout.
He thought he'd found it five miles from Taos, on a broken-down ranch run by an old man,
a crippled daughter-in-law and a cowardly son.
But he was wrong and when he discovered his mistake it was too late...
too late for anything but his blazing six-guns.
