Slocum's teamed up with a runaway-and running for his life!The last three mail drivers who tried to make it to Prescott turned up dead. But Slocum's willing to take the job-especially since he can barely buy a bowl of chili and a bunk to rest his tired bones. Now he's got unexpected company for the ride-a young runaway who goes by the name of Chris Patrick. There's something odd about the boy. He's a real quiet type.though the Colt he carries can do the talking if need be.
He seems to have a lot of secrets, too. But Slocum doesn't know just how big a secret Chris Patrick is hiding-and just how dangerous this mail run is going to get.
