About the book

When he was eighteen, Tom Kent had been framed on charge of murdering his own brother, and sent to prison. Tom knew that is was The Five who had committed the crime and who had framed him, and he knew also that they were raking in good profits from the Kent gold mine.

After twenty-one years in prison Tom escapes, and one day to Sunset Ranch, where The Five still hold sway, comes a mysterious stranger with the coldest eyes and the quickest draw of the any man in the country, and the outcome is startling.

About the Author

William L. Hopson

William Lee Hopson (1907 - 1975) was primarily a Western author. He was sometimes published under the name William L. Hopson and used a pseudonym, John Sims, for at least four Western novels.

After joining the U.S. Marines, Hopson served as a weapons instructor during World War II. Afterwards, he had various jobs as a coyote hunter and trick flyer. At the same time, he wrote crime novels and Western stories for pulp magazines between 1938 and 1958, as well as several novels, some of which were reworkings of previous short stories.
