Synopsis

Ed Morgan was a law-abiding rancher, a widower who had lost both his wife and his child to childbirth. Summoned by his younger brother, Ben, who has just been released from prison, Ed hopes for a reconciliation between them. But he finds his brother near death, with a final request. He wants Ed to find the money he buried before his capture and imprisonment, half of which belongs to Honey Travers, the girl whom Ben loved then and loves now, who has been waiting years for his release. But there are at least six others who feel they have a claim to that fifty thousand dollars...

About this title

From Booklist:

Ed Morgan stayed home to care for the Triangle M after the folks passed away, while his younger brother, Ben, spent four years in prison for armed robbery. When Ed arrives to meet his recently released brother, he finds Ben near death. Ben's last request of Ed is that he find the 50-thousand dollars he buried in Diablo Canyon and split it with his lover, Honey Travers. But, of course, nothing is as simple as taking Ben's map and digging up the loot. A half-dozen other people have claims on the money, including Spur Gowdy, a gunfighter without a conscience. Complicating it all is Ed's reluctant--but growing--affection for Honey Travers. Overholser has won three Spur awards from the Western Writers of America in his distinguished, lengthy career. His always-exciting novels are character driven and often feature strong, three-dimensional women. Honey Travers is an excellent, memorable example. Satisfying reading for western fans. Wes Lukowsky
