Most men run from danger some run toward it.

Look-out-behind-you danger from the USA Today bestselling author

Luke Deal's gang has had their depravities interrupted one time too many by the Bar 40 ranch foreman, Owen. Now, an English tenderfoot has bought a choice longhorn and is being escorted by Owen and his three toughest cowhands on an ambush-laden, hell-for-leather trip. For the greenhorn, it will be the adventure of a lifetime. But for Luke Deal's pack of rabid human wolves, it's the chance to settle a very old score.

Alfred Pitney, a representative of the BLC, some British cattle ranchers, arrives in Texas to buy a bull from four Bar-40 ranch by the name Big Blue and four young cows. One of them called Emily. Pitney intends to take the bull and cows to Wyoming with four Bar-40 cattle hands and a cook. There is some humor but also a lot of violence. Water moccasins, cattle rustlers, and then there is Luke Deal, Grutt and Bronk. Luke Deal is the worst. He loves to kill. Men, women and children. The ending of the story was a little strange.
