Forsaking a successful law career and a failing marriage, Flint has returned home to die. Cancer is eating away at his insides, and he's decided to crawl away back into the badlands like a wounded animal and not come out.

Only one small problem... he doesn't seem to by dying. And people are trying to kill him. Not something any of L'Amour's heroes are prone to take laying down.

No Sacketts in this one, but it's still a top-notch read. ( )

A man to whom life has given nothing expects nothing in return. Flint intends to die alone and in secret, leaving behind nothing but a murderous ex-wife and a lot of bad memories. He finds a reason to live, but it may be too late. One of my favorites. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553252313, Paperback)

He left the West at the age of seventeen, leaving behind a rootless past and a bloody trail of violence. In the East he became one of the wealthiest financiers in America—and one of the most feared and hated.

Now, suffering from incurable cancer, he has come back to New Mexico to die alone. But when an all-out range war erupts, Flint chooses to help Nancy Kerrigan, a local rancher. A cold-eyed speculator is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime, and Buckdun, a notorious assassin, is there to back his play.

Flint alone can help Nancy save her ranch…with his cash, his connections—and his gun. He still has his legendary will to fight. All he needs is time, and that’s fast running out….
