In the late 1800's, Elijah is trying to survive in a turbulent and violent time doing what he knows best; tracking down fugitives. Elijah is a well known and hated bounty hunter, who is hot on the trail of a beautiful fugitive, named Alexa. Elijah finds and captures Alexa and then tries to take her in for the reward, but they're ambushed by a small band of renegades, forcing them into a river. As they crawl out of the river, safe from the renegades, they see that they're in a very remote area, but on the horizon, the silhouette of a small town rises from the dust. Elijah and Alexa make it to the small town, called HOPE, where they're greeted with friendliness. As they walk around the small, quiet town, Elijah begins to have a sense of foreboding, as though he's seen many of these people before. Then it hits Elijah. All of these people are former fugitives that were either hung or killed. THIS BOOK CONTAINS PROFANITY, VIOLENCE, AND SEXUAL SITUATIONS. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR YOUNG ADULTS.
