Book Description
"They were waiting inside for him-- five desperate men. When he entered, they were going to jump him! Hinges -- the man outside -- knew. He did not draw back. He was not afraid; for in spite of the fact that he was a brute and a bully, he was not a coward ... At twenty-one, his body had been almost perfect-- a legacy which he had squandered through drink and riotous living. Now, for the first time, did he know what it was to regret the past. He had need of his strength to-night. The girl he loved was a prisoner inside. Single-handed, he had come to take her away. To win, he had to strike first. A whisper, strangely like a prayer, escaped his lips, and then, with an angry roar, he hurled himself though the swinging doors." --
