A classic Western novel by Oliver Strange and the fifth book in the long-running Sudden series. First published in 1934, it follows the adventures of the legendary gunslinger James Green, better known as Sudden.

Riding along the dangerous Chisholm Trail, Sudden is driven by a personal mission left to him by a dying man—to track down two ruthless outlaws and settle an old score. His journey takes him through lawless frontier towns where corruption, violence, and betrayal are part of everyday life.

As Sudden closes in on his targets, he becomes entangled in cattle wars, gang rivalries, and deadly gunfights. Forced to rely on his lightning-fast draw, sharp instincts, and unwavering sense of justice, he must distinguish friend from foe in a land where loyalty is rare and survival depends on courage. True to the series, the novel delivers fast-paced action, memorable showdowns, and the rugged atmosphere of the American frontier.
