From back cover:

As an experienced lawman, Deputy U.S. Marshal Ridge Conley knows how to handle hard cases. But Opal Hartman is more a victim of impoverished circumstances than a real criminal. A year into serving a particularly cruel and unjust sentence, she escapes from the Territorial Prison at Yuma, along with two male inmates. Conley doesn't want the job of tracking them down, but he fears for Opal's safety if he doesn't find her...she will perish in the desert or be ravished by her companions. Once on the trail though, Conley's moral dilemma is quickly overshadowed by a bigger problem...staying alive long enough to find and capture the three fugitives!
