In this thrilling new installment in Ralph Compton's Trail Drive series, a small ranch owner drives his herd into Mexico where he finds human life comes cheaper than beef on the hoof.
Andrew Buchanan has a problem. His small ranch in Southern California is being pressured by a bigger, unscrupulous competitor and the encroaching wave of the future, orange growers. The only chance he has to sell his cattle for real money is to take them south into Mexico.
But he's about to discover that between bandits and angry competitors, human life south of the border is worth less than the price of a steer.
