Jack Slade pulled up his roots a long time ago to take life one day at a time, risking his living, and his neck, at gambling tables across the west. A disappointment to his family, he’s been estranged from them for years. Then he receives word of his brother’s death—under mysterious circumstances—in Lawton, Oklahoma. It’s been four years since Jack saw Jim, who planted his roots to become a successful rancher. In addition to acres of land and herds of cattle, Jim left behind a fiancée who has been fending off offers on her property—as well as cattle rustlers. The mysterious circumstances behind Jim’s death are starting to become clear. And when fate pins a badge on Jack, he finds himself walking the line between justice and revenge…

U.S. Marshal Jack Slade is tasked with escorting four prisoners to Leavenworth, Kansas.

Badly wounded, horseless, and unarmed, Slade will stop at nothing to survive the dangers of the desert and pursue the escaped outlaws to the ends of the earth...
