Les Burchard owned the local gambling palace, half the town, and most of the surrounding territory, and Walt Devons thousand-acre ranch would make him king of the land. The trouble was, Devon didnt want to sell. In a ruthless bid to claim the spread, Burchard tried everything from poker to murder. But Walt Devon was a betting man by nature, even when the stakes were his life. The way Devon figured, the odds were stacked against him. So he could either die alone... or takes his enemy to the grave with him. Max Brand at his best pure Western adventure! One rancher defends his land against those who want it by any means possible.
