High Vermilion Western Paperback Book by Luke Short from Bantam Books 1956
Silver, Lead, and Blood.
In the mud-choked mining town of High Vermillion, Larkin Moffat’s crooked past caught up with him again.
But this time he wasn’t running.
A war was brewing over a silver strike at the Big Jay.
And against R.B. Jarboe’s gun-toting coyotes, no one involved with moving ore was safe.
So Moffat threw in.
Not because it would erase his blackleg past.
But because Jarboe’s greed for silver meant a motherlode of lead shot for Moffat.
