Killer On The Loose! It's a dirty job - but somebody's got to do it. And that somebody is Longarm ... ordered to bring in Thad Miller, the most vicious hombre ever to swap lead with a lawman. Trouble is, when the marshal reaches ElPaso, several men are dead - and the wily outlaw's broken out of jail ... again. When last sighted, Miller was headed for the other side of the Rio Grande - where a U.S. deputy's badge means as much as a burnt-out Winchester. But Longarm isn't about to let a few technicalities stand in the way of justice. Now all he has to do is run a cold-blooded killer in alive - without ending up with a belly full of hot lead!
