SHE WAS IN HIS DREAMS -- AND THEN SHE WAS IN HIS POWER...The Avenging Angels Cult had stolen her away. A young Mormon beauty who'd spurned their leader's offer of "divine" -- and multiple -- marriage.Now she was hidden somewhere in the Great Salt Desert -- a captive of love.And Longarm was supposed to find her. In a cruel-faced land of merciless sun.Or forever hold his peace...
It was bank robbery and murder that brought Longarm to the wild-spirited borders of Oklahoma, Land of the Redman--and anyone after a quick, illegal fortune ... It was cattle-rustling that kept him there. Bold-grubbing Indian agents. Gunslingers. And a beautiful bounty hunter, with a sharpshooter's eyes--and a way of flashing them at the least convenient times. . .
ON THE SIZZLING KANSAS PRAIRIEIn 1880, the Old West was changing. The farmers were settling in. The fences were going up. The cowmen saw their wild, open world shrinking -- and they blamed it on the "foreign" nesters.Suddenly, at Jayhawk Junction, Kansas, the smoldering quarrel burst into flame -- and Longarm was called in to see justice done.Once there, he saw a lot more too -- intrigue, greed, murder -- and a beautiful Czarist spy with a dangerous interest in him -- and his mission of peace.
