Carlos Webster Γ¨ un ragazzo ricco e fortunato, che potrebbe godersi la fortuna accumulata dal padre con il petrolio. Ma a quindici anni assiste a una sanguinosa rapina in un emporio, e il suo destino Γ¨ segnato: diventerΓ sceriffo e darΓ la caccia ai rapinatori dal grilletto facile che infestano lβOklahoma. Anche Jack Belmont Γ¨ ricco, ma cβΓ¨ qualcosa che non va nella sua testa. Da bambino ha quasi ucciso la sorellina, e ora il suo sogno Γ¨ darsi alla rapina e diventare il pericolo pubblico numero uno. Inevitabile che le strade di Carlos e Jack si incrocino, in un duello a distanza che ha per posta quel qualcosa di impalpabile che si chiama gloria, o leggenda. Sullo sfondo, lβAmerica della Grande Depressione, un West che si porta ancora dietro il suo retaggio di violenza e giustizia sommaria, un mondo di gangster psicotici e pupe coraggiose, di personaggi leggendari come John Dillinger, Bonnie e Clyde, Pretty Boy Floyd, Baby Face Nelson. Una irresistibile storia di guardie e ladri sorretta da un umorismo feroce, salutata in America da lettori e critici come il capolavoro di Leonard.
