Doing favors can be tricky.

When Sam agrees to help the sheriff of Prescott track down a young man going bad, and is helping Thelma get to Prescott, it doesn't seem like a big deal. But strange forces are at work. And Sam is already dealing with misgivings about his drifting life as a bounty hunter. Seeing men who are married and living easy lives has him thinking.

Where is his heading?

But living in the west ain't easy, and when the bullets start flying, thinking has to be put off for a time.

Another exciting Sam Colder story.
