"Slocum knew he'd be turning a few heads riding into the small town of Davis Junction with a dead man slumped over his horse. After a vicious ambush forces him to make a few outlaws into corpses, Slocum figures there might be a bounty for his attackers, and brings one in just in case. But Davis Junction has other things in store for Slocum-- namely an unkind welcome from just about everyone in town. The only exception is a young lady who has her own way of turning heads, not to mention a mysterious past that has long been grist for the gossip mill. And when Slocum gets mixed up with her, his unfriendly welcome could turn into a deadly farewell"--Publisher's web site.
