Cuno Massey ends up on the wrong side of the law in this .45-Caliber western from Peter Brandvold... Cuno Massey killed those deputy U.S. marshals all right, but only because they were about to rape the women he was escorting to safety. Thrown into a federal penitentiary, he faces a death sentence—until the beautiful Camilla and her cutthroat gang bust him out and head for the Mexican border. Pursued by lawmen as brutal as the desperadoes he travels with, Cuno rides a bloody trail, unsure where his allegiances lie, and wondering if he was better off waiting for the gallows…

"Cuno Massey has been holing up in the New Mexico town of Nopal, trying to give up his gunslinging ways and return to freighting. But a gang of cutthroats who call themselves "the Boys" led by the savage killer Cecil Craig run Cuno's freight wagon off the road and into a canyon, killing his mules and setting the young freighter afoot. That's only the start of the desperados' depredations. They take over Nopal intending to settle up for past grievances by raping all the women and killing all the men before burning the town to the ground. Their first mistake was not making sure the beefy young freight wagon driver was dead. Because that was not just any young freighter. Cuno Massey straps on his .45 and takes on the gang . . . with a little help from some lovely, Winchester-wielding ladies and his old lawman friend, Spurr Morgan . . ."--

But what he believes to be easy earnings for an absurd request becomes a riskier proposition when Lucas finds himself in the crosshairs of the wealthy and powerful Jubal Dunbar, who has already set his sights on Colorado’s governorship—and on the missing mongrel…

"A roving, shiftless fellow..." That's how the newspapers described Jesse C. Walker, who in 1908 was served with an arrest warrant by Brunswick County sheriff Jackson Stanland, with tragic results. Little did Walker know that he was about to set off on twenty-five years of headline-grabbing exploits. Two murders, two wives, three prison escapes, and thousands of miles of travel across eight states are only the surface of the adventures of this North Carolina desperado. Local author Mark W. Koenig relates the untold saga of a man who rocketed to notoriety in the first years of the twentieth century and found atonement decades later.
