One hope in hell.

Up till now, Dave Madigan's luck was all bad -- but that can change with one successful drive across the open range. He's got a contract with the army to round up fifty head of horses and deliver them to Fort Peterson, a hundred miles away. But he's also got an enemy -- a faceless rider who's been rustling his herd and shooting up his cabin.
