Sheriff Cass pursues three outlaws—the quick-draw desperados Dudly Hare, Jean Devil, and Sam Mitch—who've brought violence and crime to the Missouri frontier after botching a getaway from a bank robbery. As Cass hunts them across Missouri and beyond, old grudges, double-crosses, and gunfights narrow the odds, testing whether the outlaw life truly leads only to the gallows. A tale of frontier justice from the pages of Black Diamond Western.

Lon Spade, a card-sharp rustler from Oklahoma with a reputation for never losing a hand, wins Terry Rush's sprawling ranch in a high-stakes poker game at the Cartwheel Saloon. Now holding the deed to the perfect hideout—complete with a box canyon—Spade puts his real scheme into motion, recruiting a pair of hardened outlaws to help him build a stolen cattle empire. But when ambitions clash and bodies start piling up, Spade's carefully laid plans begin to unravel in ways he didn't anticipate.
