Nate Carlton has begun to build a new reputation as a trail boss, driving cattle out of the post-war South and into the western economy. When he reaches the mining town of Langtonville, he finds Isobel Hart and her family caught between land grabbers, criminal interests and factions competing for control of the town. The novel turns Carlton from survivor and drover into a reluctant lawman, using the mining frontier to test whether one armed man can impose order where formal authority is weak.
