Tell Sackett is carrying thirty pounds of gold when Dorinda Robiseau asks him to escort her to Los Angeles. He recognises trouble immediately but agrees to help, even though the journey will take them across the Mojave and Dorinda gives him little reason to trust her motives.
The desert crossing becomes more dangerous as Tell is drawn into a conflict involving a deadly gunman who also bears the Sackett name. With heat, distance and scarce water limiting every choice, the novel turns a reluctant act of protection into a test of family reputation and survival. Tell must keep both the gold and his companion out of hostile hands long enough to discover which danger matters most.
