At a dance in Prairie City, where his mother was a schoolteacher, Del found himself drawn like a magnet to pretty Ruby Prentiss. married twice, Ruby was frequently the subject of town gossip. Del walked her home and she invited him in -- but when she asked him into the bedroom, he felt trapped, and left. The next day he was charged with rape by Sid Blackwell, a deputy sheriff and Ruby's steady boyfriend. Because Blackwell's father is the local judge, Del does a desperate thing: he escapes and flees the state. Drifting till he runs out of money, Del meets up with two other wanted men in Colorado. since he's already an outlaw, he figures he could do worse than throw in with them -- and sets about helping them plan a bank robbery..."--Back cover.
