Restored to their original length and collected in paperback for the first time, here are three of Max Brand's greatest short novels. In "Winking Lights", a chance encounter and burning curiosity lead a rider to an ancient hacienda and a trapped young woman. A tenderfoot in a Mexican border town learns hard lessons about trusting gunfighters in "The Best Bandit". And in the title novel, a frontier gambler is given a rare second chance in life, if he's willing to take it.
