Tom Garrett is a cowboy who spent most of his life as a trail boss and in some rather bizarre circumstances became the marshal of Tombstone, Ariz. This book is about a major criminal who was captured by Tom and escapes while being returned to Tombstone for hanging. He plans to exact revenge on not only Tom but the entire town, for having sentenced him to hang.
Tom has been taken prisoner, placed in jail and with no weapons, must figure a way to take back his town from this unscrupulous outlaw. This book is a continuation of Tom Garretts Ride.
