Silverado — Hank Mitchum

Riding high on the box seat looking out over the broad backs of a six-horse team, stage driver Mike Wakefield was keeping an eye out for bushwackers in the lawless mining camps north of San Francisco. He wasn't looking for the beautiful Chinese girl who would rob him of his heart. Ku Xuan had come to California to find her American father, a man she knew only as "Big Cat:' Carefully she hid the tatoo on her wrist that identified her as a Shan Tal priestess, master of the most deadly of the secret martial arts. Mike saw only her loveliness, not the danger following her from the Orient -- the reason he'd have to fight to stay alive in a cross fire of violence and desire.
