A DESERT HELL RUNS RED WITH BLOOD... Arizona's Sonora Desert is the closest thing to hell Longarm's ever seen. It's hot as a stove, and water is more precious than gold. But the Papago Indians and a few rugged ranchers manage to scratch out a living from the barren land. But lately, Indian and white man ain't been very neighborly. 'Cause along the parched ruts of dried-up streams, blood runs easier than water. And if Longarm doesn't act fast, it's gonna be a slaughter in the land that God forgot....
