SOMEONE'S PLAYING TAX COLLECTOR AND MAKING OFF WITH A MINT! A Federal agent is missing and U.S. Marshal Long is the one sent to bring him home. But a hired killer is lurking in the shadows, just aching to put a bullet in Longarm's back. Could it be the sly, sultry county coroner, Flora? Or those two cowboys always following close behind? Every lead out there in No Man's Land seems to end in a blind alley, but when the dust begins to clear, Longarm settles his score with a bevy of the deadliest beauties north of the panhandle and a con man only a fool would question...
