The Civil War has ended; and for the past few years, Nate Landry has earned a living by hunting down outlaws in the Arizona Territory. After dropping off two prisoners in Phoenix, Nate returns to his cabin to relax for a day or two. Inside his cabin, he discovers a lovely lady with a revolver and a job offer that won't allow Nate time for relaxation.

Anna Thomas watched three men murder her husband and kidnap her young son. Nate tries to convince her that he's the wrong man for the job, but then he learns the kidnapping murderers are men he and Wolf, his lifelong friend, encountered during the war.

Realizing the boy's life is in danger, Nate and Wolf hit the trail of the most evil man they've ever known. Rescuing the boy from Major Campbell and the Parson brothers won't be easy. It becomes even more difficult when Anna insists on riding with them.

Major Campbell and the Parson brothers are the kind of men who will accept the ransom money and then kill the Thomas boy as well as the folks who deliver the ransom. Campbell, however, doesn't know Nate and Wolf are making the delivery. When he learns their identity, bullets will fly.
