Arizona 1888: Marshal Ed Pruitt had been bringing Sam Trask to justice when the coach they were riding in was wrecked. Trask murdered the driver and escaped. Now Pruitt wants Bodie to bring Trask in before the wanted man can ride out of the Dakotas and cross the line into Canada.
Where Pruitt couldn't easily cross the border into Canada, Bodie has no problems. But what should be a straightforward pursuit soon turns into something far more puzzling.
Trask is a killer, many times over. Yet people are willing to cover for him. Beaten and shot, Bodie continues to risk his life to uncover what hides in the shadows. As he rides the savage hills, facing bullets and treacherous weather, Bodie is at his best, fighting the odds and proving that he's the toughest manhunter the West will ever see.
