Yakima Henry may be tougher than anyone else in the Arizona Territory-as a half-white, half-Indian man, he has to be. So when a pack of thieving curs leaves him in rough country minus one prized horse and two well-worn boots, he raises hell to get back what's his-and lands in jail. But wealthy Cleve O'Shannon has a proposition for Yakima: his brother-with a mother lod of silver-is trapped on a mesa by desperadoes. The O'Shannons need a hard man to lead them through hell to save him. For his freedom, Yakima agrees.
