FRANK O'HARA had a treasure. Everybody knew about it but nobody could find it. Or Frank O'Hara.
CHARITY CLAYTON knew about the treasure and was after it. She was after Joe Blade too -- which he didn't mind.
EDDIE PRENTICE was town marshal of Cheyenne. He wanted O'Hara, the treasure, and Charity Clayton. He also wanted Joe Blade so he could hang him.
JIMMY WHITTLE was a pint-sized horse-thief with a giant ego. He'd kill to own a good horse. And frequently did. Which gave the clue to O'Hara's treasure.
CLEOPATRA VIVALDI was beautiful, passionate, greedy for men and gold -- and claimed to be Mrs. Frank O'Hara. Only Frank didn't know about it.
They were living out a violent human drama against the massive backdrop of the west. And with a stunning indifference to death, they were out to break the Montana Deadlock.
