Dead on time?the last train to Lantana Flats pulled slowly in.
Dead on the tracks?one old-timer, a prospector.
Barely alive to his predicament?the depot manager. With the railroad closing, he was out of a job and the Nevada desert wasn't exactly blooming with opportunities.
Alert as ever?Adam Steele, just ridden in on the train.
While up in the bare hills, a woman waited. Who might be able to show Steele a good and timely stash of gold. And, sure as hell, would introduce him to a whole hurricane of flying lead.

GEORGE G. GILMAN (11 December 1936 - 23 January 2019) was a pseudonym created and used by the near-legendary Terry Harknett -- is so well-known to western readers for his Edge and Steele books, that he hardly needs any introduction. Arguably the most influential British western writer of the last 50 years, his tough, graphic, wise-cracking westerns are still in demand, even though almost twenty years have now passed since the last one was published.
