"Adam Steele came to Highview with the idea of bidding on a chunk of valley land. Surprisingly, the conpetition looked slim, and as the austion date approached it appeared that the old Fairchild property was pretty much set to fall into the hands of one John Chance. Not that there was anything irregular, mind you. People just didn't like to cross Mr. Chance. The blacksmith tried to warn Steele. The Sheriff more than hinted at it. The men at the Sunset Saloon were even more concerned, and nervous. Then Biig Bob Porter arrived. He was Mr. Chance's foreman, a huge bear of a man. He tried to be persuasive. He left the Sunset Saloon with a good head start at bleeding to death. Yes, it was certain to be a lively - if not deadly - auction. Steele's first clue was the beautiful Kate Fairechild. Next was the blunt warning from John Chance . Steele decided this was a chance he'd have to take." Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" Tall..
