Finally cleared of a crime he didn't commit, he's able to enjoy the fruits of his labor on the trail without looking over his shoulder. But even his best served grub can be spoiled by those with evil appetites . . . After traversing California and finding nothing much to his liking, Mac Mackenzie is heeding his heart's call to return to Texas.

But they haven't reckoned with the likes of Mac, a man who will settle their hash--raw and bloody . . ER -
