In this western by the USA Today–bestselling author of Spirit of the Mountain Man, a cowboy stops in the wrong town and soon faces double the danger.
The Wyoming tinderbox of Muddy Gap is feeling none too friendly ever since the Grubbs gang tore through on a hellraising rampage. And it’s far from over. Because what the vicious Utah Jack Grubbs would really kill for just rode into town: Smoke Jensen…and a small fortune in rawhide.
Smoke needed a break from driving a herd of remounts north when he showed up in Muddy Gap. Now, he’s on the run again, headed for the Montana wilds—with Grubbs and his men shadowing his trail. As if that wasn’t trouble enough, Chief Iron Claw’s bloodthirsty Cheyenne warriors have just appeared on the horizon. It isn’t long before a war between the white man’s greed and the red man’s savagery turns the peaceful Bighorn Mountains into a simmering powder keg.
Caught in the middle—with no way out—Smoke Jensen is just the man to set off the explosion.
