On the run for a murder he didn t commit, Matt Slaughter is lying low in the badlands with a new life and a new woman. But old troubles are right behind him: her name is P.D. Wildmoon, a hard-drinking bounty huntress armed with a .44, a rawhide horsewhip, and three wild-eyed sons bred to kill. The job? Bring the fugitive back to Virginia - dead or alive. Making matters worse is a Sioux war that s trapped Slaughter between the vengeance of a hostile tribe and the blind greed of a gun-crazy mother who s blocking his only way out. But for Slaughter, there s even more at stake. By his side is Molly, the vulnerable love of his life. And she s just the pretty little tool Wildmoon and her killer brood need for hitting Slaughter straight through the heart.
