Description
His charm is contagious. He speaks seven foreign languages. He wears a tuxedo to the opera.  But when he leaves his beloved New Orleans and straps on his Colt he becomes the most dangerous man alive.
Years following his brother's mysterious murder a professional gunman of enormous courage and determination reaches the top of his profession. Â Long forgotten is the life he swore to abandon kneeling at his brother's grave; his life as a wealthy New Orleans businessman. Â Now he is fully transformed into a man who would travel to the ends of the Earth to get justice for the oppressed, driven by his bitter need for retribution. He operates in the shadows; concealing his name and his heart - yet the anonymity masking his true identity will only hasten a legend of historic proportions. Â
In Part I of this three-part western this secretive gunman travels to Dodge City to face twenty-two of the most vicious men that ever rode north out of Texas; men who raped his widowed client and 15 year old daughter after murdering her husband. In Part II a small town in the Arizona badlands is terrorized by the mayor and his deputized killers gone mad. Â He travels there to break their stranglehold on the town, assisted by his friend Jose Mendez, a half-Mexican, half-Apache former Army scout. In Part III he meets Jose Mendez in El Paso where they face their greatest challenge, a vast rustling operation with the Governor's job at stake and bodies strewn across West Texas.
