In "Ryker," Jake Ryker reluctantly works at his brother Tom's ranch when Tom becomes paralyzed; and in "Law Comes to Lawless," John Glyde accepts the position of sheriff in the town of Lawless only to find himself pitted against Cole Westcott and his gunmen.

"Two western stories: 'Texas Flat' is the scene of an ill-fated cattle drive attempt to help small ranchers break the control of a large cattle rancher. 'Rinneger' finds Cole trying to fulfill his brother's dying wish to return the money Harvey stole from a bank while others try to stop him and keep the money for themselves"--

One More Hill to Hell concerns Dan Grimshaw, who rides for Caine Pomeroy. Pomeroy's Kingpin Ranch is in the process of ruthless expansion. Melissa Olmstead, an attractive widow, has been holding out against Kingpin's eviction notice to her. Grimshaw, at the risk of his own life, breaks ranks and makes one last effort to get Melissa to give in. When again she refuses, Grimshaw is confronted with a moral dilemma, one that could put him in as much jeopardy as she is. In Against the Law Marshal Mark Kennicott has kept the town of Cameo Crossing peaceful. He shoots Billy Ringo in a saloon when he believes Ringo has a hide-out gun. Although no hide-out is found on Ringo, the town council demands that Kennicott resign. But if Kennicott does quit, the entire town will once more be at the mercy of lawlessness.

He said his name was John Rutledge, and it had all started out as a simple favor -- the return of a body to the ranch where the dead man had once been employed. But the circumstances of the killing -- a cold-blooded gun-down -- and the ominous parting words of the dead man's buddy made Rutledge wonder if there were going to be more serious consequences to his good deed than he had bargained for.

"Cowhand Luther Pike always dreamed of being a lawman. His first assignment is to escort the infamous Nellie Dupray, a beautiful but shady woman convicted as a rustler, to the Capital City jail. His journey is lined with dangers that even the most hardened lawman would have trouble handling"--
