Zane Grey
The Fugitive Trail

Bruce Lockheart had one of the fastest six-shooters in the West - sharp, blazing and deadly honest. But when his brother, Barse, pulled one of the biggest hold-ups Texas had ever seen, Bruce took the blame for it, leaving Barse clear to marry the beautiful Trinity Spencer. Now Bruce had the blood-hunting law on his trail, and Trinity fighting to clear his name. If she failed, he would have to hide for the rest of his life - or die!

Have they ever been used all at once?" The hangman moistened his lips. "No," he whispered. "But I could do it. And when I hang them, they never come back for more." "Twelve men at one time:" The judge's voice was soft. "That ought to discourage lawlessness in the Territory."
