The arrival of young Ike Hadley is another matter: This one seems hell-bent on proving he's as tough as his troublemaking brothers. But every gun will count in this confrontation. And Chance has a compelling reason for returning from this mission -- even though it may mean his days as a rough rider will be over. On the merciless frontier a man and his sons were Texas Rangers all -- until the Civil War marked the end of their famed rough-riding legion. Now in a land of violence and brutality, scarred by war and uneasy in peace, they've fought rustlers and comancheros, tamed lawless towns, and upheld the Ranger Code.

But when Joshua fails to return, Wash Carston must set out to rescue him. When he arrives, Wash finds Joshua locked up in the hoosegow, accused of murdering the prisoner he was sent to pick up as he tried to escape. With problems coming from every corner of Sendero, the only agreeable folks Wash can find are a tough young sharpshooter dying of consumption and a pretty waitress who’s just a bit too friendly…​ As a lynch mob gathers, Wash stands ready to defend his father’s deputy and uphold law and order with a blazing six-gun in hand.
