From back of Morgan Ewell was a law-abiding man. He only killed in self-defense, and he had never seen the inside of a jail. But when the law said a ruthless land-grabber and a money-hungry banker had the right to take over every spread on the range, Ewell had to take a second look at the law and at himself. The choice was plain. It was obey the law and forced off the land he loved. Or defy it, and be caught in a deadly crossfire between a straight-shooting sheriff on one hand, and an army of hired guns on the other. And the choice was quick. The law of the land was one thing, but the code of the West was another...and when it came to pleading his case, Ewell would let his guns do the talking.
