A Hanging in Wild Wind — Ralph Cotton

DEATH MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS.

Arizona Ranger Sam Burrack gets more than he bargains for when he tracks a gang of bandits to a badlands outpost called Wild Wind. Fresh off a big score, the thieves ride with notorious desperado Silva "the Snake" Ceran -- and one of them, an outlaw beauty named Kitty Dellaros, happens to be his woman.

The desert stinks with outlaws and scoundrels -- the perfect hideout for the Snake. But Ceran doesn't plan on lying low for long. He's recruiting cutthroat Comanche renegades to help him carry out the heist of his dreams. Unless Sam can stop this unlikely but deadly alliance, Wild Wind just might get blown clean off the map.
