This is a great story about a hit man who gets drygulched and temporarily loses his memory. It is great the way L'Amour writes about how the hit man goes about finding out who he was, why he was dry gulched and why people are out to kill him, who exactly Ruble Noon *was* and who he *is now* after losing his memory and waking up and gaining an entirely new perspective was just awesome. Oh, and be warned, from the first pages you're hooked. It's L'Amour's style to draw you right in from the opening page and then speed along the rest of the book.
