Red Hawk's Trail — Max Brand

With a reputation for being a troublemaking gunfighter‚ John Sherburn ends up in Amityville‚ Texas‚ where to his surprise an immediate friendship develops with Peter Gresham‚ the most successful businessman in Amityville.

Gresham has only one purpose in life: to find and kill Red Hawk‚ a renegade Indian chief who tortured his brother to death five years earlier. Gresham wants Sherburn to help him in this quest by taking charge of his businesses when he leaves Amityville to hunt down Red Hawk.

A conflict arises when Sherburn meets Jenny Langhorne‚ the woman Gresham intends to marry. But even so‚ Sherburn wants to help Gresham‚ especially after Jenny tells Sherburn that she is certain that Red Hawk has placed spies in Amityville.
