After a not-so-friendly welcome at the Six Feet Under Saloon, he’s given the choice between a bullet or a bit of employment: Escort the town mortician’s strikingly pretty bride-to-be from a train station at Dexter Junction—in exchange for a hefty sum. But with someone after the gunslinger and the mysterious beauty, Slocum reckons that the undertaker neglected to tell him the whole story.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Slocum’s invited to attend a funeral—his own. John Slocum was given two hundred dollars and a ticket to Cheyenne, Wyoming with the promise of employment, but not told what kind of services he’d be rendering. On board the train, he’s forced to defend himself against a badman who’s clothed like an undertaker—and lucky that Slocum didn’t put him six feet under. Slocum’s assailant is just one of several gunfighters cryptically known as the Undertakers, who leave their victims flat on their backs with their arms crossed over their chests as if they’re lying in coffins, and plant crude grave marker crosses behind their heads. They’re working for a greedy rancher looking to enlarge his spread over the land belonging to Miss Clarissa Montcalm. But now the Undertakers face the Angel of Death known as Slocum…

Making off with the loot, he slips into Tombstone hoping to enjoy his winnings peacefully. But that’s never the case for someone like Slocum… Easy on the eyes, Spring Atkins can make a man feel warm inside, but her heart is as cold as ice. Slocum’s instinct is on the mark when he learns from her sisters, Summer and Autumn—that Spring stole the ore-rich Silver Chalice mine from them. He knows better than to get in the middle of a family dispute, but when the road agents come looking for revenge, he can use the seasons to his advantage—if they don’t leave him as dead as a winter frost…

And if you’re a lawyer, winning an acquittal for your client can be fatal if it goes against the powers that be. Despite Slocum’s eyewitness testimony, an innocent Mexican is sentenced and hanged for murder. It’s all part of a scheme to seize a very valuable piece of land. Slocum could—and probably should—ride away from the whole ugly situation. But injustice doesn’t sit well with him—and one attempt has already been made on his own life. Now, Slocum is going to shed the blood of the guilty—to avenge an innocent man who couldn’t fight back.
