of our time”—Rocky Mountain News
When a man lives by his reputation he has to pay the price...
The governor of New Mexico territory has a plan to end the range war in Furner County: offer amnesty to all criminals involved. U.S. Marshal Earle Conlon—acting in place of the recently deceased sheriff—is ordered to ride out to the Tunstall Ranch and sell the governor’s plan to the most wanted man in the country: Billy Pecos.
To Mae Roberts this plan is unacceptable. She knows Billy is a stone-cold killer. Knows it firsthand. She has quietly dedicated her life to seeing him dead by her bullet. But when Billy is caught at the scene of a brutal murder, Mae will have to wait in line. Suddenly, the whole town is thirsty for a lynching.
Marshal Conlon is the one man more interested in justice than revenge. And only he will risk defending the despicable outlaw in order to find the true killer...
The storm clouds are gathering…
