Silent wolf

the long version

He was a loner, known as 'Silent' - because he had had his throat partly ripped out by wolves. He had his own private mission and dead men began to pile up around him, until a naive girl who was a mighty good rifle shot joined him and cramped his style. She tried to make him see things differently, but finally, saw them his way. Then the body count climbed again, ending in a final bloody showdown in border mud.
