Description: When Luke Harper rode to the aid of Dr John Meeks, he found himself sucked into a whirlpool of murder, gunfights and rustling. Bridgetown was torn in half, with townsfolk to the south struggling to lead decent lives while, to the north, Jake Pedlar had set his sights on a more lucrative venture than his saloons and honkytonks. Backed by gunslingers, he planned to take over the Double M ranch. Harper intended to ride on, but when the strong-willed woman from the Double M called on him for help, he could not refuse. He'd take on this one last job before heading back east. Now, he faced a desperate struggle - and only his Peacemaker might keep him alive.
