From the back cover:
THE MAN WITH NO NAME
His partner is the desperado, Tuco, who turns vengeance into a sadistic contest of endurance . . .
His adversary is the ruthless Sentenza, a killer who long ago lost count of the lives he has cut down . . .
His goal is a $200,000 treasure in stolen Army gold for which many have died and more will be killed . . .
His secret is a dead man's final breath. More than once it has saved his life, and it will lead him to the treasure -- if he can keep alive long enough to reach it . . .
His trail is a path of blood cutting across the hell that the Civil War had brought to the southwest . . .
His reward -- death, probably, from any one of a hundred enemies; betrayal, possibly, from the unpredictable Tuco; defeat, perhaps, blazing from Sentenza's custom-made pistol . . . or the gold that two armies and a legion of dead men have failed to reclaim!
TO THE MAN WITH NO NAME, THE ODDS SEEMED ALMOST FAVORABLE!
