Ralph Compton A Wolf in the Fold

Book excerpt: In this gritty Ralph Compton western, a cold-blooded killer uses his deadly skills for fiery vengeance. When it comes to killing, Lucius Stark is just about the meanest mongrel of a man who ever aimed a gun in West Texas. For him, taking lives means making a living, and if the price is right, he’ll do the job. But even hardest of men has a soft spot... When Stark grows too fond of a woman he is hired to kill in a range war, his client shows his displeasure by shooting him in the back. Stark is saved by the Butcher family—the very ranchers he was paid to eliminate. But when the Butchers end up slaughtered without mercy, Stark sets out to deliver his own brand of revenge...free of charge. More Than Eight Million Ralph Compton Books In Print!
