Linc Bradway goes to Wyoming to avenge the killing of his best friend, Jimmy Weston. Quickly he comes under the influence of the beautiful Kit Brandon who is co-owner of a gambling house and seems to be involved in rustling and possibly the murder of his friend Weston. Another complication is Linc meets Kit's niece Lucy and falls in love with her.

Kit is convinced that she has Linc wrapped around her finger and warns Lucy to stay away from him. There is also a potential cattle war between the cowboys and the ranchers which never made much sense to me. In fact the entire plot made little sense when everything could be put right immediately if just someone told what they knew and it was never really explained why they kept silent about stuff they knew.. From my point of view, the novel was not really worth reading even if Grey toned down his romantic descriptions of the western scenery for a change. ( )

A lot of action. ( )

Pure pulp - a dime store story set in the West. ( )
