Jubal Cade is no stranger to violent death. But sometimes a man needs to wash the blood from his hands. Do a little doctoring. Earn a little money. Rest up from the quest for vengeance that is his life. But with a bounty hunter like Mort Gannon on his tail, just itching to blast his guts all the way El Paso, there's no way a man can rest. In the savage, unruly lands of Mexico, Jubal cannot hope to cheat his destiny - or escape the bitter taste of ashes and blood!
