'They warned Savage not to take the short cut through Dead Man’s Gulch. Too many Apaches, they said. But Savage wanted to get to Albuquerque and that was the quickest route.
The warning, however, failed to mention anything about Craig and Bobby Vandal. Father and son. One a cold killer. The other, prepared to do anything for his boy.
When Savage arrived in the Gulch, the local sheriff had Bobby locked up on a murder charge. Craig Vandal swore his son would never hang, and before long, a deputy’s badge had been pinned to Savage’s chest and he held a smoking hot Winchester in his hands.

'One thing was certain, for many years to come, the citizens of Dead Man’s Gulch would remember the man called DRIFTER!' (Publication summary)
