Synopsis:
The old Apache renegade Soldado Viejo is hiding out in Mexico, and the Arizona Department Adjutant has selected two men to hunt him down.

Reviews:
Stuart McIntyre When writing "Race to the River" I based the storyline loosely on two things. The book "The Bounty Hunters" by Elmore Leonard and the movie "The Scalp Hunters" which starred among others Burt Lancaster, Telly Savalas,, Shelley Winters and Ossie Davis. Although there was a comedic element to the movie, the storyline of a group of white men taking scalps from Indians with the intention of selling them in Mexico prompted me to write something similar. Although "Race to the River" contains few elements of comedy, the movie in particular got me to thinking about what would it have been like if Burt Lancaster's character (Joe Bass) had pursued Telly Savalas' band of scalp hunters to Mexico and this was the basis of my latest novel.
