Unjustly branded a killer, Wes Tancred vowed never to touch a gun again. So he rode the trail alone, changed his name and hoped to lose himself in the new bustle the railroad brought to Sage City. Then Hong Kong Smith and his killers rode into town. When they shot innocent victims, Wes knew that he had to strap on his guns again.
