They called Pedro Vellere the Mexican Kid. There was no harm in him, really. But he was young and impressionable ... and hell with his gun, knife and fists.
When he killed a man in self-defense, Pedro knew no one would take the side of a greaser. So it was either face a lynch-mob or make a break for it, and join up with Luther Slade's gang of hardcases.
What Pedro didn't realize was that these tough gunmen weren't the romantic figures he imagined. They were hard, merciless men who'd kill just for the hell of it. By the time he wised up, it was too late?he was one of them.
Then again, maybe there was one single chance of salvation for the Mexican Kid, when Shane Preston and Jonah Jones rode into the town Slade's bunch had turned into a hell-on-earth. Maybe alongside these two gunfighters, Pedro Vellere would make a stand and still make good!
