Ralph Compton Demon's Pass

by Robert Vaughan, Ralph Compton

Overview

Two men brave the unforgiving frontier in this western in Ralph Compton's Sundown Riders series.
 
Parker Stanley’s family had a dream: to start a new life in the Far West. But en route, a Cheyenne band slaughters his parents and abducts his sister, leaving him for dead.
 
Then a cowboy named Clay Springer rides to the rescue—and comes up with an idea. He’s got a team ready to deliver goods to the Mormons in Utah, but he’s short on funds for supplies. He knows that Parker managed to hold on to his family’s savings, so he suggests a fifty-fifty partnership. With a three-wagon, seven-man team, Parker and Clay will traverse the barren land to find a secret mountain pass that will save them three hundred miles on their journey.
 
But out in the wilderness, Parker’s sister needs saving—and he has vowed to find her.
