In this western by the bestselling author of Return of the Mountain Man, legendary gunslingers unite to save a beleaguered mining town.
When gold is discovered near the little town of No-Name, Colorado, the citizens are overjoyed at their good fortune . . . until trouble gallops down Maine Street on a horse straight out of Hell. For gold’s closest companions are greed and murder, and every two-bit gunslick from the Atlantic to the Rockies is beating a path to the gold strike—which is practically on the doorstep of Smoke Jensen. They’re looking to get rich quick . . . and never mind how it’s done.
But this legendary mountain man never learned how to back away from a good fight—and this one promises to be a whopper.
Outnumbered a hundred to one, he recruits an army of his own: twenty aging but still lethal legends of the frontier of the frontier in the violent sunset of their grizzled lives.
One thing you can count on: There’s going to be a lot of blood spilled before anyone walks away with the gold.
