Matt Brenner is drifting when he rides into Hattan's Point. There he finds a land war and a beautiful woman. Moira's blue eyes convince him his drifting days are over. Recruited by both sides of the land war, Matt decides to turn them both down and take his hand in a three-sided game. There seems

to be a joker somewhere in the deck, and Matt had better find it, before he loses everything - including Moira.

Another tightly written, fast-paced story. Enjoyed it.

An earlier novel by L'Amour that is mostly a formula Western, though I thought it picked up towards the end. Not one of his better novels, but still superior to other westerns as a whole, and worth a read if you like the genre.
