Arizona Raines

In the scorching salt flats, Arizona Raines and his partner Spurs follow a trail that leads them to a ghost town seemingly conjured from the desert haze—where the dead outlaws of legend walk, and the law itself is a phantom. As they’re captured and put on trial by figures long thought hanged, Raines must confront the terrifying truth that the town’s eerie justice is no mirage, but a deadly reality.

When a mysterious silver strike is announced in Coyote Gap, the entire town of Dead Canyon erupts in a frantic stampede, threatening Spence Macklin’s isolated ranch. As Big Jim Croker schemes to seize control by pressuring local ranchers, Macklin—feared as the reclusive hermit—must step out of the shadows to protect his land and stop the chaos, even as the town’s frenzy threatens to destroy everything.

Target for Outlaw Guns!

Bob Allen (town marshal)

In the lawless town of Dry Gulch, Marshal Bob Allen arrives under cover, pretending to be a stranger while secretly investigating the recent murders of the town’s marshal and deputy. Disguised as a quiet newcomer named Allen, he navigates a web of outlaws led by the cunning Grimbold, who’s using the town as a hideout—while trying to stay one step ahead of both the law and the very criminals he’s trying to expose.
