Race Buckner and his accomplices are robbing banks and trains all over the West. Their ingenious brand of banditry has made them virtually unstoppable-until a legendary lawman is put on their trail...||||Mister St. John.||||Irons St. John thought he had put his wild days in the saddle behind him. But when the Pinkertons offer him a sizable sum to run down the Buckners, he agrees to play peacekeeper one more time-and he rounds up a possee of low-down lawbreakers to assist him. Their employers don't approve of their rough and rowdy methods, but St. John and his crew are at their boisterous best on this manhunt, and they're riding toward the wildest showdown the West has ever seen...||||"Estleman rivals the finest American novelists with his gritty vision and keen ear." - The Washington Post Book World
