The greatest Western writers of the 21st Century, William W. Johnstone
and J.A. Johnstone, continue their epic tale of a Rebel doctor surviving
in the lawless aftermath of the Civil War...
When the war ended, Dr. Samuel Knight went home to Texas--but the life
he expected was in ruins, his wife married to a carpetbagger. Trying to
defend what's left of his previous existence, the good doctor is branded
an outlaw and driven from Texas. Now he's laying low in New Mexico, with
his image on wanted posters everywhere. But when the town explodes in
violence, Knight will risk his neck to save innocent lives.
After a cave-in injures a team of miners, Knight throws his cover aside
to tend to their wounds. He catches the eye of Helena "Hellfire" Bonham,
the mine's owner, who's wrapped up in a murderous dispute with her
ex-husband over control of the land. She thinks he was responsible for
the cave-in and wants Knight to prove it. She's chosen well, because if
Dr. Samuel Knight is quick with a scalpel, he's even faster with a gun.
