The stage from Red Basin was supposed to be a quiet run. Instead, it rides straight into hell. When a band of hardcase road agents springs an ambush along the narrow trail through Timber Gulch, the passengers aboard the Overland stage find themselves trapped between the guns of ruthless outlaws and the deadly canyon walls. But the killers made one mistake. They didn't know a quiet rider named Luke Tanner had taken the shotgun seat. Tanner is a man with a past written in gun smoke and hard justice-and he won't see innocent people murdered for a payroll sack. As bullets rip through the timber and horses scream on the canyon road, Tanner must fight a running battle against men who know every rock and ridge of the gulch. Outnumbered and cut off, Tanner has only one chance: Turn the ambush into a trap of his own. Because in Timber Gulch, only the fastest gun rides out alive.
