Son of a Wanted Man — Louis L'Amour

Ben Curry knew it was a dog eat dog country and if you survived you had to have big teeth. From a secret fortress in the wild, broken canyon country his men rode hard and smart as far as Canada and Mexico, from San Antone to Los Angeles to pull jobs that made the James gang look like pikers. Curry's son, Mike, was raised to roam free. While he learned all the deadly skills of the lawless breed he had yet to break the law. Now it is time for Curry to retire and he has called in his untested son to take over his reins of control. Caught between jealous gang members his growing love for an innocent girl, and the relentless pursuit of two lawmen--Tyrel Sackett and Borden Chantry--Mike Bastian, son of a wanted man, must decide whether to follow the road to hell down his father's outlaw trail.
