Cort McBride had taken over Tombstone lock, stock and barrel. Now the town was wide-open to every hell-raiser in the territory, and the ordinary folks were no longer safe. Sheriff Sam Spark tried to stand up to McBride and his gunman army, and died in the street for his troubles. So the town council decided to hire not one but two lawmen in his place ... Shane Preston and Jonah Jones. The stage was set for a fight to the death; and Shane and Jonah both came uncomfortably close to cashing in before the war built to a fiery climax where the winner would take all, and Tombstone would be a little piece of Heaven ... or a red-hot chunk of Hell.
