At high noon, the dusty border pueblo of Laredo crackled with tension and anticipation. After years of terror along the Rio Grande, the infamous outlaw Bart Campion-the wily, curly wolf killer whose name was spoken in fear from Texas to Mexico-had finally been captured and was set to hang for murder. The stagecoaches rolling into Laredo overflowed with gamblers, drifters, bounty hunters, and thrill-seekers eager to witness the end of a legend. Among them rode eighteen-year-old Molly Bishop, carrying a secret that has haunted her all her life. Before Bart Campion dies, she must force him to reveal the truth that could change everything she believes about her past. Her only ally is Owen Pryor, a hard-eyed young rancher with scars of his own and an old blood debt to settle with Bart and his vicious gang. But justice in Laredo will not come easy. Even now, Bart's ruthless riders are thundering toward town, sworn to blast their leader free no matter how many bodies fall in the streets. By sundown, Laredo will erupt in gunfire, betrayal, and blood-and not everyone will live long enough to see the hanging. 2nd in the exciting series of the Old West.
