In the West, he had legendary shoes to fill. Now the Loner is about to face his deadliest challenge yet. The son of legendary gunman Frank Morgan, Conrad Browning goes by the name Kid Morgan--the Loner--and forged a growing reputation of his own. But in the midst of a fight for his life, the kid discovered that he too was a father: of twins he'd never met. Now, the kid heads back east to pierce a mystery guarded by murderous criminals for hire. Why is his ex-fiance hiding his children from him? And why is this secret worth killing to keep? The answers lead the kid back to a small Kansas town and a tale of cruelty, greed and power--the kind of story his father always knew how to end: with courage and a gun.
