The golden land [large print] / Giles A. Lutz.
Ryan Sage was a man born for trouble -- it pursued him as a hawk does its prey Three times he had been forced into a kill or be killed situation and each time he had had to flee to save himself. Now in California in the small town of Los Angeles, Ryan is determined to sink his roots and become a part of society -- never to run again. But here, as everywhere trouble seeks him out, Ryan becomes embroiled in the bitter savage struggle between Old Mexican Californios and newly arrived Yankee pioneers. With loyalties on both sides and trusted by neither Ryan tries in vain to maintain his neutrality. The deadly situation is rendered hopeless by his love for Maria Diaz, the fiance of his friend Don Rafael Domingo. Ryan knows there is no escaping this final encounter with trouble. Whatever the cost he has to see the conflict through to its inevitable tragic climax.
