Ordeal - Hardcover

Six people rode the stage from Tucson bound for San Diego. Attacked by Apaches, the stage overturned and the driver was killed - and the party was set afoot in the desert, miles from water or help. Under the stress of desert heat, fatigue and sniping by Indians, the real personalities of the men and the girl begin to emerge. Old hatreds flare; guilty secrets, as well as hidden heroisms and loyalties, come to the surface.
