Texas Ranger Walt Slade, a relentless and fearless lawman, takes on the brutal Campo Santo gang, desert killers who rode in a hail of gunfire into the bustling boomtown of Washout and left it littered with corpses.

Alexander Leslie Scott (1893-1974), aka "Bradford Scott," was born in Lewisburg, West Virginia and was the prolific author of over 200 westerns under various pseudonyms, including more than a dozen Walt Slade adventures.
