But for those who intend to keep their stranglehold on New Mexico, going after the good Reverend will be a big mistake—because the fiery-talking man of God is really Cole Braddock, the West's most notorious manhunter operating in disguise. And with a little help from a lady, Braddock won't leave Cimarron until he forces the conspirators out into the open—and brings them down . . .
