Incident at Coyote Wells

"In the barren Sonora desert, a thirsty drifter makes a promise to a dying man. Fresh out of jail, John Magadan sets out for the oasis of Coyote Wells. When he finds the spring dried up, he knows he will likely die. He trudges on, and hears a voice calling from the sands--a gutshot man pleading for water that John does not have to give. The man presses silver into John's hand, begging him to take it to Yuma, to tell his sweetheart how he died. John agrees, even though he sees no chance of making it there alive. Soon after he rides on, John's horse gives out, sending him crashing to the ground unconscious. When he comes to, he's in an unfamiliar place, being interrogated by men who suspect him of killing the man in the desert. Killers, lawmen, and Yaqui Indians all want John Magadan's hide. He survived the desert, but the trip to Yuma will be deadly."@en
"John Magadan has escaped the hangman's noose, but can he avoid a posse, the Corson gang, Yaqui Indians, and Beth Tolliver in the Sonora Desert?"
"John Magadan escapes the hangman's noose, but his ride through the Sonora Desert bristles with violence and danger: he's pursued by Sheriff Tom Driscoll's posse; the Corson gang want the treasure which they feel they have been cheated out of; the Yaqui Indians want his horse and his blood. Beth Tolliver knows that Magadan holds the key to free her brother from Yuma prison - and something else...and she's decided that Magadan will stay to the bitter, bloody end."@en
