"With death running wild across the rugged Wyoming hills, one of New York City's most successful publications sends its Wild West correspondent to get the story of the killer known as the Jack of Justice, who is leaving a trail of calling cards and bodies across the territory. But the story is not what it appears to Crayne, a writer who battles the demons within and the rules of his trade as well as his editors. As Crayne delves into the mystery of the Jack of Justice, he finds that the real story is deeper and darker than anything he expected, and that his role in the tale may be not to recount the story, but to bring it to a swift and sudden end. Breaking away from his mission and breaking the rules come naturally to Crayne, who soon finds himself riding with the outlaw instead of writing about him, until the outlaw attempts one showdown too many, leaving Crayne to face a powerful network of men who want to silence him before he can tell a story that will outrage those who believe their role in polite society is enhanced by buying relics of the dead. Crayne rides with the indomitable Fire Buffalo Dawn, a woman driven by rejection from both the white and Indian worlds. Outnumbered and outgunned, Crayne and Fire Buffalo Dawn try to turn the tables on those who are responsible for the deaths of outcasts the powerful consider unimportant as they risk everything in a high-stakes showdown with their lives on the line"--
