'The trail north was littered with longhorns and blood …
'When Savage arrived in Deadman he made two mistakes. He interfered with Josiah Breen’s plans to steal a fifty-thousand-dollar herd of Longhorns, and then slept with the man’s wife. 'Both were unforgivable.

'When Savage finally came to, the herd was gone, along with the dead owner’s daughter.
'Now it was the Drifter’s turn to get good and mad. The first thing he did was assemble a crew of rustlers and misfits to go after Breen and his band of cutthroats. Men who could shoot and weren’t afraid of being shot at.
'As it turns out, getting the cattle back was the easy part. Staying alive until they reached their payday was a whole other story.' (Publication summary)
