N2  - "The beloved Mule Tamer gang is back: the affable Arvel Walsh and his wild Mexican bride, Chica, the terse Dick Welles, the aborigine healer, Billy Livingston, Dan George, Uncle Bob and Pilar, along with a brand-new cast of colorful characters. In the election year of 1896, the future of the fledgling Arizona Rangers, captained by Arvel Walsh and Dick Welles, hangs by a political thread. The latest crisis, a greedy silver republican bent on controlling the politics and wealth of Arizona and beyond, is driving a wedge between the two stellar ranger captains. Lori Parker has been savaged in a Tombstone brothel by a son of the prominent silver prospector and political operative David Gold, a well-connected businessman accustomed to buying his ne'er-do-well sons' way out of trouble as he builds his empire of corruption and avarice. Follow the Arizona Rangers as they chase deranged killers and Mexican bandits through the wilds of Arizona and Mexico, unaware that Arvel's beloved new family is to be targeted for execution. Has Gold finally met his match in the form of The Mule Tamer and his wild Mexican bride, or will this be the end of the finest law enforcement team the land has ever known?"--Jacket flap
