No matter how quickly they head to Mexico riding on their horses, Twister and Chuck can’t help but feel that trouble is not far behind them.

As it turns out, trouble is not far behind them. When a lone gunshot rings out, the quiet of an isolated wagon road is shattered forever. Twister and Chuck get to the scene where they heard the gunshots ring out from, but by the time they arrive there all they find is a dead body.

When the two friends come across a group of four bandits while strolling through a part of the ranch land, they find that they all have masks on that only show one eye. More than that, they’re in the process of hanging a rancher up from the tree. While that may be shocking, it seems that a group of killers has been terrorizing the area for months.

Chuck and Twister have run directly into a group of killers and terrorists that have been scaring and hurting people in the area. They’ve never backed their way out of a fight and will not start now. But when they find out a sinister plan, they may find that they’ve met their match. What will happen? Read this second novel in the series by Davis Dresser to find out!
