It was never his intent, but when Dooley Monahan put a bullet in a dangerous and notorious outlaw, he became an instant legend. Being a legend can really complicate one's life. That is especially the case when the family of the desperado you shot is in hot pursuit and hell-bent on revenge.

All poor Dooley wants is to collect his reward and get out of Phoenix as quickly as possible. He's hankering on pushing north to the gold fields where he hopes to make a different kind of "killing."

On the way, a band of renegade Apaches, a dog smarter than most humans Dooley knows, and a girl with a past she'd rather forget than talk about make Dooley's journey exceptionally interesting.

Unforgettable friends, vicious enemies, and some really odd twists of fate make the trail west Dooley Monahan follows one that you won't soon forget. There is a little humor tucked in the account of this journey along with the usual action and gunfire you come to expect for one of William W. Johnstone's stories. You'll savor every minute you spend with this western anti-hero and want to follow more of his misadventures if the author elects to share them!
