Sheriff Bo Tully is the kind of western lawman who's as good with the ladies as he is with his guns, and he never lets a death threat get in the way of a good barbecue. In this latest tale, Tully pursues a seventy-five-year-old missing persons case in which a pair of gold miners mysteriously disappeared just as they hit the mother lode in a remote part of Blight County. Meanwhile, a mentally unstable murderer escapes prison with his sights set on Tully, who put him behind bars.
