Back once again, the ex-Texas Rangers known as the Carston men are challenged when a prisoner is violently highjacked on a rough trail, leaving it up to Will to stop at nothing in his fight to get him back in the seventh book of Jim Miller's The Ex-Rangers Series.

The Wells Gang rode into town to rob a bank, but they were not prepared for the good folks of Twin Rifles to stop at nothing while fighting back. When the smoke clears on the criminals, one bandit is dead and the gang's leader is under the guard of Will Carston.

Now headed for trial in Fort Dodge, Will is four days into a stagecoach ride with the leader of the robbers as the road turns rough. In the stretch of their journey, Will fights off an angry lynch mob, a drunken gunslinger, and a beautiful, too friendly woman who is aiming to bring him a different kind of trouble.

When his prisoner is violently hijacked, the ex-Texas Ranger has to use all his skills and guts to get him back as the members of the Wells Gang plan to make a withdrawal from the Twin Rifles bank with vicious vengeance on their minds.
