"Ever since the golden spike was driven completing the transcontinental railroad, heavy traffic through Wind River and an influx of strangers have made the jobs of local star-packers Cole Tyler and Billy Casebolt tougher than ever. A gunfight between miners over prostitutes, a soft-spoken deputy U.S. marshal hell-bent on justice, and outlaws with their sights set on the new bank all make things dangerous for the good folks of Wind River. But it's a well-dressed vengeful stranger from New Orleans who could change the face of the town forever." -- From publisher's description.
