This classic tale of betrayal, justice, and frontier law is the first novel written by bestselling author Elmore Leonard. “Leonard has penned some of the best western fiction ever.”—“USA Today.”

The old Apache renegade Soldado Viejo is hiding out in Mexico, and the Arizona Department Adjutant has selected two men to hunt him down. One — Dave Flynn — knows war, the land, and the nature of his prey. The other is a kid lieutenant named Bowers. But there's a different kind of war happening in Soyopa. And if Flynn and his young associate choose the wrong allies — and the wrong enemy — they won't be getting out alive.

Elmore Leonard has written more than forty novels, including bestsellers “Up in Honey's Room,” “The Hot Kid,” “Mr. Paradise,” “Tishomingo Blues,” “Pagan Babies,” and “Glitz.” Many of his books have been made into movies, including “Get Shorty” and “Out of Sight.” He lives with his wife, Christine, in Bloomfield Village, Michigan.
