description: The Bram Stoker Award-winning horror novelist turns his talent to a sweeping saga of the Old West in this novel about a man who leaves behind his quiet life as a coffin-builder to save his former lover's new husband who is being held hostage in Mexico. Priest McClaren wants to put his past behind him. It's a past filled with loss, murder . . . and revenge. Now all Priest wants is to own a carpentry shop and earn a quiet living building coffins. But it looks like peace and quiet just aren't in Priest's future. His ex-lover has pleaded with him to carry ransom money into hostile territory in Mexico, to rescue her new husband. It's a mission he can't refuse, but it could also easily get him killed. Especially when he runs afoul of Don Braulio, a bandit with a great fondness for knives. . .
