USA Today best-selling author William W. Johnstone delivers double-barreled blasts of courageous heroes and unrepentant villains. Captain Jack Brant unleashes hell on rancher Richard King before being forced to cool his heels in prison. Now Brant’s back for more of the same but he didn’t count on going up against Smoke Jensen. And he’s soon to find out that slapping leather with the mountain man is about as smart as shaking hands with a rattlesnake.
