Trouble's riding the rails beyond the Nueces Strip.
Texas Ranger Lucas Dunn, Jr. ("Junior") heads west in 1897, chasing justice along the bloodstained tracks of the Southern Pacific Railroad. A string of brutal murders rattles the Hill Country, and legendary Ranger Captain John Hughes sends Junior to find the killers hiding among the steel and smoke.
Power-hungry men. A vengeful hired gun. A dangerously cunning temptress. And the shadowed hands of corrupt politicians. As the body count rises, the lines between law and lawlessness blur-and every mile of track brings Junior closer to a reckoning.
His name is making headlines, drawing allies and enemies alike. But when a threat strikes at Cassie, the woman he loves, Junior must ride harder than ever-or risk losing everything.
Justice rides an iron horse across Texas. And this time, it may carry Junior straight to perdition.
Climb aboard for a high-stakes pursuit through smoke, steel, and sin-where legends are forged and the cost of justice is paid in blood.
