In this western by theUSA Todaybestselling author ofSpirit of the Mountain Man, a cowboy stops in the wrong town and soon faces double the danger.

The Wyoming tinderbox of Muddy Gap is feeling none too friendly ever since the Grubbs gang tore through on a hellraising rampage. And its far from over. Because what the vicious Utah Jack Grubbs would really kill for just rode into town: Smoke Jensenand a small fortune in rawhide.

Smoke needed a break from driving a herd of remounts north when he showed up in Muddy Gap. Now, hes on the run again, headed for the Montana wildswith Grubbs and his men shadowing his trail. As if that wasnt trouble enough, Chief Iron Claws bloodthirsty Cheyenne warriors have just appeared on the horizon. It isnt long before a war between the white mans greed and the red mans savagery turns the peaceful Bighorn Mountains into a simmering powder keg.

Caught in the middlewith no way outSmoke Jensen is just the man to set off the explosion.
