WHERE THE LAWLESS STAY ONE STEP AHEAD OF THE LAW

 SANCTUARY OR TRAP? 

The stage is only an hour from Cottonwood Station when the Cheyenne strike. The driver, the shotgun guard, and the passengers are doomed until Clint Dawson appears with his long-barreled Whitworth—the rifle that can throw a slug eight hundred yards. With two injured and the Cheyenne howling at their heels, they have little choice but to risk a run for it. But with Rusty Cantrell and his vicious gang of killers holed up in the isolated outpost and the Cheyenne rallying for a new attack, only one man knows why Medicine Wolf is willing to go to any length to get the revenge he wants . . . and only one man knows what it will take to keep the innocent alive.

ZIMMER’S STYLE IS NEAT AND SPARE, HIS CHARACTERS PEOPLE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT, AND THE SETTING ONE OF GREAT INTEREST TO READERS OF WESTERN HISTORY.”
