Longarm looks to hog-tie a killer on the loose… Custis Long’s always been a loner, but now he’s got a partner to watch his back—whether he wants one or not. There’s a killer leaving unlucky prospectors cut from ear to ear and it’s up to Longarm and his greenhorn sidekick from Boston to bring him in. Young Dudley Applewhite has to learn the lawman’s trade, and if Longarm can’t show him the ropes then nobody can. Together they might catch the Nevada slasher. But there’s another kind of predator a young marshal has to watch for—lonely ladies looking for a long, tall lawman to hang on to…
