Krátky popis
Being caught, bloody gun in hand, leaning over the body of the man
he had threatened to kill forces bronc-buster Glenn Crawford to
turn up at the Big O ranch, a weary, footsore fugitive with more
than one score to settle.Even the murder of the ranch owner in San
Antonio had not prepared Crawford for the state of affairs he finds
at the ranch. His sudden presence there seems to scare some of the
crew half to death and lead others to try to kill him every chance
they get. For the moment, however, Crawford is more interested in
the state of affairs in his own body than in those of the Big O and
the murderer he is sure the ranch harbors. A veteran of the saddle,
Crawford discovers that since an accident which he suspects was
planned, he goes into a frenzy of pain and trembling panic whenever
he gets near a horse. But in spite of the torture it costs him,
Crawford stays on at the ranch. He knows he cannot be a free man
until he finds the murderer of Otis Rockland. Nor can he be a whole
man until he conquers the black devil of a killer horse, Africano.
After he meets Merida Lopez, an exotic beauty whose presence at the
Big O is surrounded by mystery, he has a third motive for staying
around, although he stands to lose his reason if not his life.
Trapped by forces which he cannot understand, and half-crazed by
the torturing pain and panic which he tries desperately both to
overcome and to hide, Crawford gets himself more and more
hopelessly entangled in what, as old Delcazar points out, looks
like the most dangerous thing that ever hit the wild brush country.
Crawford is offered a strange proposition by sinister Dr. Huerta;
he listens to Merida's spellbinding tale of Santa Anna's chests—and
as he listens, the jagged third of a map he possesses, plus a dying
man's painfully gasped out words, take on a new and important
meaning; he waits, trapped, weaponless, for a killer to come
nearer, nearer—And he delivers to his other pursuers the body of
one sent out to kill him—only to become more deeply enmeshed in new
and still more terrifying trouble. Crawford's irritation at being
stirred by Merida, whom he alternately respects and suspects of
playing him for a fool, doesn't prevent him from riding secretly
with her in the night in search of a place so malicious few men
have ever stepped foot in it. Nor does it later prevent him from
risking an agonizing death to follow her into it. Before the true
murderer reveals himself, and before Crawford can again call
himself a whole man, much violent action takes place. Set against
the exciting background of the untamed Texas border country, this
is a thrilling brew of suspense, quick death, adventure, and love.
