The Cottonwood Stage carrying Len Drummond was ambushed by vicious killers who ended up shooting the wrong man. They had a name but no description, and instead of Drummond, a whiskey‑soaked salesman took the bullets. Now the question is: who ordered the killing, and why did they want Drummond dead?

The trail leads back to his uncle, Web. Once an outlaw and now on the right side of the law, Web has enemies who covet his ranch. And the one behind the gunmen is a different breed entirely.

Was it Elaine Jordan, the hard‑driving boss of the C‑Bar? Her brutal foreman, Jib Weldon? Or Tod Lambert, whose pretty sister Julia happened to be riding that same stage?

Whoever set the trap, Drummond intended to learn the truth and find out why he had suddenly become the target of blazing gunfire.

Lee Floren delivers another hard-edged Western that pits grit against malice. Drummond stands out as a relentless, no‑nonsense hero, while Weldon embodies the icy brutality of a born killer. The story brings together all the classic frontier figures—the innocent woman who stirs the heart, the weather‑scarred sheriff who’s seen too much, and a landscape thick with tension, treachery, and shifting loyalties.

The pace never lets up and, true to Floren’s style, you find yourself locked in, turning pages to see how the dust finally settles.

I'd give it 4/5.
