For years, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch have ridden roughshod over rabble-rousers and gun hands in troubled towns like Appaloosa, Resolution, and Brimstone. Today, recently appointed as Territorial Marshalls, they find themselves traveling by teach through the Indian Territories. Their 1st marshaling duty begins as a straightforward objective to escort Mexican prisoners towards the border, but when the Governor of Tx, his wife and daughters climb aboard with their bodyguards and $500,000 in tow, their journey suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.

The problem is Bloody Bob Brandice. He and Virgil have had it out before, an encounter that remaining Brandice face-down in the pub with two .44 slugs lodged in him. Right now, twelve years later on a night teach struggling uphill in a thunderstorm, Brandice is definitely back – and he’s not by yourself. Cole and Hitch find themselves amid a heist having a horde of very bad guys, two beautiful young hostages, and a guy using a vendetta he’s determined to handle.
