Brazos got off lucky this time. His pa’ Blue Tierney’ saved him from receiving due justice at the hands of a hangman in Trinity Ridge. Which means the Tierneys and their gang are roaming free’ spreading terror. What this town needs is a temporary lawman with little diplomacy when it comes to doling out justice - and Gideon Hawk is that man. Not everyone is sure of him’ but Hawk won’t back down until he has the Tierneys strung up from the gallows they once escaped.
