Blood Money — Ralph Cotton

UNFINISHED BUSINESS

Ever since Federal Deputy Sullivan Hart lost his father to ruthless J. T. Priest, he's hoped to find the outlaw and bring him down. Then hanging judge Isaac Parker sends Hart and his partner, Twojack Roth, to break up Priest's infamous gang, Los Pistoleros, and he is only too willing to fulfill his duty.

When the price on Priest's head triples, gunmen from the East and the West alike join the hunt, with rifles in their hands and dollar signs in their eyes. So Hart and Roth need all the help they can get to catch Priest and his crew, who've stolen a million dollars--and taken a pretty hostage....

With a fortune in the balance, and a couple of sharp-eyed bounty hunters at his side, Hart sets out on a trail that will lead to a final showdown ... and death in the desert.
