Book Six of The Clint Mason Series by William F. Martin.
Clint Mason has never been this close to achieving his dream of building a peaceful community around a big, top-quality horse ranch on the Rio Pecos. Using his talents as a land surveyor, he outfoxes a crooked land baron to secure an idyllic estate, but soon finds himself at a poker table with at least three guns pointed his direction. One false move and all of Clint’s plans will die with him. A powerful foe aims to make it look like a justified killing over card cheating, and that bold play might help balance Clint’s odds for survival.
Will it be just another ruthless murder, or will Clint win another day to further his quests for justice, peace and prosperity?
