Tap Duvarney fought in the War Between the  States, then signed on as an Indian fighter with the  frontier army. Now he's settled in Texas, working a  ranch as the partner of his old friend Tom Kittery  -- and in the middle of a blood feud between  Kittery and the vicious Munson clan. Around Matagorda,  most folks are either on the side of the Munsons  -- or laying low. With Kittery and the Munsons out  to spill each other's blood, and Kittery's woman  stirring up trouble between the two uneasy  partners, Duvarney knows he's headed for a savage  showdown. But will it be with the Munsons, his enemies...  or with Kittery, his friend?
