Framed for murder, hunted by a death-hungry posse, Hawk was on the trail of the man behind a lethal trap?a bloody sadist named Colonel Thomas Spate, formerly of the Union Army and of the Army of the Confederacy.
Hawk had two missions in life, important ones. First there was Colonel Spate, then the famed invaluable Mexican statue known as the 'Snake.'
In the back of his mind, Spate and Sloan Despart were somehow connected. With luck he might not only steal the Snake from Despart, but finish off Spate in the bargain and so end years of hunting and frustration.
A savage fighter who defied the law with his own ruthless code of death and vengeance, Hawk crisscrossed the land with the mutilated corpses of those who tried to stop him!
