Syndicate Gun

Jim Bannister remains a wanted man, condemned to hang for a killing that followed the destruction of his ranch and the death of his wife. Hunted across the West, he has one chance of clearing his name: uncovering the truth about the powerful corporation responsible for his ruin. When Boyd Selden, an executive of the Western Development Corporation, offers a possible lead, Bannister risks everything to meet him in Silver Hill, a booming Colorado mining town where fortunes are made overnight—and men are just as quickly destroyed. But their meeting takes a deadly turn when a hidden rifleman shoots Selden in broad daylight. Bannister pursues the assassin, only to become entangled in a bitter struggle between independent miners, ruthless businessmen and a powerful local mining magnate. Forced to conceal his identity under the name Jim Bowers, Bannister finds himself working for the very syndicate that has placed a $12,000 price on his head. And when he guns down a suspected assassin in self-defense, the miners brand him a hired killer—a syndicate gun. As tensions erupt over the valuable silver claims of Turkey Ridge, Bannister discovers that greed and treachery run deeper than anyone suspects. Behind the threats and gunplay lies a conspiracy involving deception, murder and a desperate scheme to destroy a valuable mine. With enemies closing in, Bannister must fight his way through ambushes, brutal captivity and a deadly confrontation deep underground, where a ticking dynamite fuse threatens to end everything.
