USA Today best-selling author Ralph Cotton spins a Western yarn about a young man coming to terms with his reputation as a gunslinger and his longing to live peacefully as a Texas rancher.

Cray Dawson wants to head home and put his reputation as a shootist to rest. Trouble is, his home town has changed. There's a crooked new sheriff, and with an army of vicious outlaws riding shotgun as deputies, he has the town under his thumb-until Cray decides to make the most of his bad reputation.
