Burke, James Lee, 1936- (author).

Summary:

A pair of undercover union organizers are hired to break colts for a Hollywood actor, whose 'Western hero' facade hides darkness. An oil rig workers witnesses an attack on a local village while on a job in South America and seeks justice through one final act of bravery.
