From the Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century, the 10th
chapter in the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling series
featuring Luke Jensen, the long-lost brother of Mountain Man Smoke
Jensen. A legend among bounty hunters, Luke Jensen joins a posse of
misfits and greenhorns on a murderous manhunt that's doomed from the
start--and there's no turning back . . .
Someone is terrorizing the Arizona border. Burning down ranches.
Butchering travelers. Blazing a trail of bloodthirsty raids and robbing
the railroads blind. His name is Melichus. A ruthless half-breed outlaw
with a mile-long record of cruelties and crimes, he's the most wanted
man in the territory. And the massive price on his head has attracted
the attention of every trigger-happy, would-be bounty hunter this side
of the Rio Grande. But Luke Jensen knows something they don't:
The bigger the bounty, the deadlier the prey.
Against his better judgment, Luke accepts an offer from the Great
Southern Railroad to lead a posse of hired guns to stop Melichus in his
tracks. Problem is, the gunmen are untrained, undisciplined, and unruly.
To make matters worse, a meddlesome pair of Pinkertons are along for the
ride, too. But the real trouble starts when their team gets caught in a
three-sided gunfight with an Apache war party and the Mexican Army. It's
fast becoming the bloodiest manhunt Luke's ever seen--and the final
showdown could be his last . . .
