At first glance, Shane Preston and Jonah Jones were an odd pair: one a lean, quiet gunfighter, the other a feisty old-timer running to fat. But they shared a special bond, and a common goal ... to track down the man with the scarred faced who'd killed Shane's wife. To do that, however, they needed money. So they hired out their guns as trouble-busters, and fought one deadly battle after another, always in the hope that their trail would eventually cross with that of Scarface. When Hangman's Creek hired them to clean out the lawless element, it seemed like a pretty straightforward job. But neither man reckoned on just how ruthless Leif Murphy could be ... and how dangerous his army of gunslingers!
