Dave Harmon was a troublemaker who turned lawman for lack of a better job. Despite his rough past, he soon earned a reputation as a town-tamer. When Harmon drifted into Miles City, he had no intention to put down roots, until a crack over the head in a bar brawl changed his plans. Next thing he knew, he had accepted a job as marshal. Yet Miles City had more trouble than he thought. And it all pointed to one of the town’s leading businessmen, rumored to have a gang of hardcases waiting to rough up anyone who crossed him. But Harmon had sworn an oath to uphold the law, and he was a man of his word…no matter what the cost.
