Former Cheyenne sheriff Ty Ledger and bounty hunter Johnny Roth are in hot pursuit of a half-breed serial killer responsible for the death of Ledger's wife and unborn child. The bloody trail leads to Lincoln County, New Mexico, and a town girding for war. An encounter with renegade Comanche has the pair counting their bullets, each making sure he has one left to ensure his final escape. Colt's action races across the pages of history set against the run-up to the Lincoln County War. Ty Ledger, Johnny Roth, Lucy Sample and Dawn Sky take their places beside John Chisum, John Tunstall and James Dolan as the principals square off in what will become the making of legends. Told in a gritty style reminiscent of Robert B. Parker, Colt transports the reader to events that test the mettle of men and the hearts of the women they love.
