Longarm tracks a bad man...all the way to his grave.
The moment Gideon Horne kills an upstanding man of the law, Longarm knows he'll track the infamous badman from here to Kingdom Come, just to make sure he meets his maker. But catching up to his quarry in the Death Valley town of Panamint, he discovers the job is already half done...
It seems Gideon has taken ill with cholera, and the whole town is at risk of infection. While a lovely lady doctor tries to control the crisis, Longarm sticks around in case Gideon lives—so he can watch him hang. Only Gideon's not the only crook in Panamint, and Longarm's preparing for an outbreak of lead.
