What is The Lightning Runner : A Western Story about?

A dyed-in-the-wool criminal gets an offer he can't refuse in this hard-charging frontier adventure from "the Shakespeare of the Western range" ( Kirkus Reviews ). Notorious outlaw Lawrence Grey has finally been captured in El Paso, but Marshal Neilan offers him a rather curious proposal. Neilan will grant Grey his freedom, as long as he locates John Ray, a man last seen in San Vicente, Mexico. The same man who incidentally is heir to a millionaire's grand fortune. The matter has recently become quite pressing, for the tycoon is desperately ill and wants to bestow upon Ray his much-desired wealth. Grey obliges Neilan and goes to San Vicente, where he immediately plunges into a world consumed by utter bedlam, voracity, and control. It is quickly learned that Grey is actually a wanted outlaw on both sides of the border. He'll have to rely on his wits to escape an ill-fated entrapment, if a passel of life-threatening quandaries doesn't get to him first . . . "Brand practices his art to something like perfection." — The New York Times
