And sure as a shoe smells, Longarm and Texas Ranger Lazarus Coffin weren't ever going to be back-slappin' beer buddies. But they had a job to do together no matter who threw first mud: protect a highfalutin powwow between the Mexican and American governments in the border town of Del Rio, Texas. Distractions fly like chairs in a bar fight. Local bandits, Lazarus Coffin's wanton moronics. And, of course, the forbidden fruit that is Sonia Guiterrez, daughter of the Mexican diplomat. But those little damnations are nothing compared to the ten-gallon chunk of hell that's about to break loose...
