The Fighting Four - Max Brand

In the mountain town of Elkdale, a daylight bank robbery goes off with stunning speed. A quiet cashier freezes at the wrong moment, a loyal janitor is shot, and half a million in cash vanishes into the hills. The town rides hard, but the chase ends in a box canyon: three outlaws are taken alive, and a fourth slips away with the money.

With the bank ruined and his engagement shattered, the cashier is left with shame, grief, and one burning need-to make things right. Days later, as the captured men wait for the gallows, an unexpected visitor brings them an offer that could save their lives. They refuse, bound by a harsh code and a deeper plan. When the death house erupts in violence, the hunt begins again across wind-cut ridges and bare stone slopes, driven by desperation, loyalty, and the promise of a fortune still out of reach.
