Morgan Kane is cheated in St. Louis at a gambling table when he is seated at the last available seat at the table rigged to see his cards. And he loses. Now on a train he is happily seduced by a beautiful traveler and the two head out for a breath of air. Her three companions take over and Kane is shot through the hand- his trigger hand- and shot in the stomach, then shoved off the fast moving train to slowly die. He lives on for revenge. He is predictably a moody, sullen, and vindictive and yet all the women want him.This western is written by a Norwegian author, Kjell Hallbing, under his Americanized pen name, and it's a believable western.This is all those things you get in a western- Schlock, bravado, bad habits, and beautiful women all together on the western front.
