Pinkerton Agent Cameron Scott arrives at the crossroads town of Willow Branch Creek seeking answers to a series of train robberies. He gets more than he bargained for when he befriends the lovely Becky Drake when defending her son from one of rancher Jim Gilson's cowpunchers. To complicate matters, an old enemy has come to town, Larry Strickland, who did prison time thanks to Cam, and now wants revenge. Things go from bad to worse and culminate in both a train robbery and a blazing gunfight at Skyline Ranch that forces Cam to use his hard-earned skill as a gunslinger to save not only his life, but that of the woman he loves.

The hero of this story takes on half of the outlaws of the Wild West and beats them comfortably. His exploits on the train are mind-blowing........ especially when he fires three shots from a double-barrelled shotgun! I reread the chapter twice to make sure I hadn't missed something.
