And when Chancy defended his new herd of cattle  with a shotgun, he didn’t miss. The dead man left a pistol on the ground. Chancy  needed a spare and, after stowing it in his bedroll, forgot about it. He had a cattle  drive to finish and a profit to make.But the gun had a history. Another killing  had taken place and Chancy would never know the truth until it was too late. Now,  locked in a jail cell with an angry, drunken mob outside and time running out, he  must somehow find a way to prove his innocence.
