THE DAY OF JUSTICE IS AT HAND A talented healer forced to become a fugitive for a killing he wasn't responsible for, Jake Horn found sanctuary in the rough Dakota town of Sweet Sorrow—and in the tin badge that marks him as the local law. Now his discovery of a dead ranch hand is bringing his demons home. As a doctor and a sheriff, Jake's witnessed death in all its dark guises—and he recognizes a murder when he sees one. But asking too many questions of the wrong people is asking for trouble, and suddenly expert killers are gathering with their sights on a lawman who's got a need to see justice done. The big gundown is coming, as relentlessly as the winter snow whipping across the prairie. And there's nowhere for a good man to hide when five shooters blinded by hate won't leave Sweet Sorrow until he's dead.

" Jake Horn once used his hands to heal now the same hands kill. He was on the dodge for a crime he didn't commit when the town of Sweet Sorrow took him inand rewarded him with a badge he never wanted. Still, this out-of-the-way Dakota hellhole is a good place for a man to get lost in until legendary gunfighter William Sunday rides up with a price on his head, followed by a parade of bounty hunters, criminals, and cold-blooded killers. A feared gun artist with a murderous rep, suffering from an illness he knows will soon claim his life, Sunday is determined to reconcile with his daughter before his own body does him in. Meanwhile, every human reptile in the territories is closing in for the kill, leaving lawman Jake no choice but a suicidal duty: to stand side-by-side with a dead man who has nothing left to lose. "

Reluctantly accepting the job of marshal in the lawless town of Sweet Sorrow in the Dakota territories, Jake Horn, a one-time doctor accused of a murder he did not commit, finds himself in the midst of a vicious crime wave, but he soon finds his life complicated by the arrival of a famous bounty hunter from Bismarck, who is determined to collect the reward for bringing in fugitive Jake Horn.
