Ramon Peralta's map leads two prospectors to a fortune in gold hidden in the Superstition Mountains—sacred ground the Apaches have cursed—but when Jacob Waltz arrives and claims the strike for himself, he sets in motion a chain of violence and dread that haunts everyone who seeks the riches. Years later, even death cannot release the old prospector from the Thunder God's grip, and his widow's desperate attempt to reclaim the mine only proves how completely the curse has erased its secrets.

In "Doublecross at Devil's Den," gunfighter Sante Fe Norton takes on a dangerous mission to rid Devil's Den of a ruthless outlaw gang, posing as the outlaw Chad Kenny.

When Terry and the Bar-O outfit push their cattle herd north along the Chisholm Trail toward Kansas, trouble dogs their every step—rustlers and raiders are hitting nearby outfits, and the boss, Snow-shoe Tucker, warns them to stay vigilant. On their last night before reaching Abilene, Terry spots suspicious riders creeping toward the bedded herd and a firefight erupts on the dark prairie, leaving him with more questions than answers about who's really behind the raids. Now Snow-shoe wants Terry to scout Abilene ahead of the drive, where answers—and danger—surely await.

Snowshoe and Terry arrive in the rough-and-tumble cattle town of Abilene to deliver the Bar-O herd, but Terry's suspicions are immediately raised when he recognizes the voice of a smooth-talking cattle broker named Barlow—and later, Deputy Sheriff Morgan Hapes—as men he heard with rustlers the night before. As Terry investigates in secret, he discovers a troubling web of deception in a town where the law itself may be corrupt, and a chance encounter with Sue Leonard and her dying father only deepens his resolve to uncover the truth.
