Crossfire trail - Louis L'Amour

Rafe Caradec-gambler, wanderer, soldier of fortune-was as hard a man as the battlefields
and waterfronts of Latin America could fashion, but he was as good as his word. As
Charles Rodney lay dying in a dank ship's fo'c'sle, Rafe swore to make sure that
Rodney's Wyoming ranch went to his daughter, Ann. In Painted Rock, Wyoming, Caradec
found land for a man to love, miles of rolling grasslands and towering mountains.
He also found that one of the most ruthless men in the territory had set his sights
on both Rodney's ranch and his daughter. But Rafe Caradec had given his word, and
once he'd looked deep into Ann Rodney's eyes, nothing short of death would stop him
from keeping the promise he'd made.
