Synopsis: A riveting story of feuding brothers in a fight to the death from an early master of the western genre. Years ago, Owen Daybright was an orphan on a railroad crew when old Arch Stobie took him under his wing at the Acorn ranch. He needed the quiet, hardworking Owen for a special job: to act as a friend and be a calming influence on his fiery-tempered son, Lee. But, instead, the boys showed an immediate hatred for each other that never waned. Only out of loyalty to Arch did Owen cover for Lee&’s stupidity and carelessness. But now Lee&’s crossed the line. There are some angry men after him for disgracing their sister. And he&’s put a target on Owen&’s back. Unless Owen is very fast and very careful, he&’s going to end up taking a bullet for the brother he&’d like to kill himself. Luke Short, a winner of the Levi Strauss Golden Saddleman Award from the Western Writers of America, blazed the trail for authors such as Louis L&’Amour and Elmore Leonard. Vengeance Valley is one of his most compelling tales of western adventure.
