FROM THE BACK COVER: Sundown Riders. They are four hired guns who had freight for a price into the treacherous, untamed wilderness. As tough and unyielding as the land itself, they're fighting for themselves, and for a stake in the future, on the great frontier. Led by the poker playing Faro Duval, these soldiers of fortune are about to take the biggest gamble of all, delivering an explosive cargo from Santa Fe to southwestern Utah. Their destination is Devil's Canyon and a mountain of gold But there's a wild card in the crew, a man who is one jump ahead of an unsavory past and one piece of silver away from selling them out. In a land of savage outlaws and hostile Utes, with a rattlesnake named Hal Durham in their midst. Duval and his men are running out of time and out of luck. All they have on their side is a load of dynamite and a matchless courage that will reverberate across the unblazed Western trails.
