In the train with them are the four Leach brothers, each one meaner than the next. Now, if Tanner and his buddy want to make it to Montana alive, they'll have to keep their enemies close...and their weapons closer." -- Back cover

Outlaw Roy Blanton’s raised his four boys in the family business since they were half-pints—and they’ve gotten away with murder.

Old Buck Avery, Dixon’s partner, has been thinking of turning in his badge, and taking down the Blanton name sounds like a fine way to leave the law on a high note. But it’s going to get bloody—because the house of Blanton isn’t going to fall without a fight. . . .
