Coffin Flats, New Mexico, is a nothing town in the middle of nowhere—which suits Jim Glass just fine. Looking for any job, he's courted by the local brothel owner—because Jim is good with his fists as well as his gun—but instead he is hired by Marshal Chalk Bronson.
A hothead named Johnny Waco is threatening to burn Coffin Flats down if his runaway wife's not returned to him—a lady who loved Marshal Bronson until fate and war separated them. Now Glass has a plan that could make things right . . . or far worse than they are already—the worst kind of scheme that could pull the drifter into a world of killers and heartbreak . . . and toward a destiny full of dying.
