Money can't buy happiness, but in Sabre Ridge, it can buy a sheriff

Arizona Ranger Sam Burrack rides into Sabre Ridge with one prisoner for the town jail and a list of the man's kinfolk wanted for robbery and murder. But the sheriff--who's better at being a drunk than a lawman--tells Burrack to lay off the Abbadele Gang. They pump a lot of dollars into the local economy, even if it is money they steal elsewhere.
But Burrack doesn't want the whole clan--just the ones who robbed the bank in Riley and killed three people. With the entire town against him and no hard evidence in hand, Burrack needs a lot more than his guns and his wits to bring justice to Sabre Ridge--he needs allies. And the best ally he has is his partner, Maria, who isn't afraid to draw down on anyone--including the Abbadeles. When the talking stops and the shooting starts, the odds are still heavily stacked against the Ranger--but that's just the way he likes it...
