With millions of copies of his books in print, USA Today best-selling author Ralph Cotton is a contemporary giant in the Western genre. Blowing into Kindred, New Mexico, like a sandstorm, mercenary Sherman 'The Teacher' Dahl quickly locates his prey and guns them down in a blazing firefight. But Dahl's troubles are only just beginning. The town's power-hungry marshal doesn't take kindly to Dahl's brand of justice and he's determined to end the hired killer's career once and for all.
