John Russell has been raised as an Apache. Now he's on his way to live as a white man. But when the stagecoach passengers learn who he is, they want nothing to do with him.That is, until outlaws ride down on them and they must rely on Russell's guns and his ability to lead them out of the desert.

He can't ride with them, but they must walk with him or die...Elmore Leonard is well known for his crime fiction but his electrifying western novels also stand as some of the most vivid writing of his career.

Crackling with Leonard's trademark dialogue, set against a beautifully evoked landscape, this is a classic work that captures the wild and glorious spirit of the American West.
