"Zack Keech's business was cattle; railroads were a nuisance, an interloper on the free range and a pain in Zack's saddle-tanned anatomy. So how did this rootin' - tootin' cowboy - who only wanted the money he figured was due him for a train-triggerd stampede - find himself working as an undercover agent for two most unusual railroad owners and the notorious Wild Bill Hickok? And furthermore, what was he doing in a situation where not only a lot of self-declared enemies were out to gun him down but even his supposed friends had to pretend that he was an outlaw and a man that Sioux Wells would be better off without? This is an action-filled story of cattlemen, railroaders, a black-eyed vixen and one stubborn trail driver, punctuated by the crackle of gunfire and the thud of some very surprised corpses"-- Provided by publisher.
