But there's a killer stalking the railhead as well, and not only the fate of the railroad but also Britten's very life depends on him uncovering the truth.The original version of this epic Western adventure by legendary author James Reasoner has been out of print for decades. Newly revised and expanded, it's now available again with all the historical sweep and gun-blazing action readers have come to expect from James Reasoner.
