Grizzled, silent, and deadly with a long rifle, Murdock Lancer is a man few cross and none forget. Living alone in the high passes with only his past for company, he's sworn off the world-until a cry for help pulls him back into it. When a widowed homesteader disappears near outlaw territory, Murdock heads down from the mountains to do what no one else dares.

In a land ruled by guns and greed, sometimes it takes a loner to set things right.
