Charlie Stark, assistant undertaker, is standing in a grave the day notorious outlaw Angel Blunt rides into his life. Blunt talks to Mr. Henson, Charlie's mentor, like he knows him, but Charlie knows that can't be. John Peter Henson is a good man who would only spend time with someone like Blunt the day he put him into the ground...
Unwilling to give up Mr. Henson's secret and tarnish his good name, Charlie tries to put the pieces together himself. Maggie Buchanan knows he's hiding something and she's on his trail as well. Together, they turn the tables on Blunt's outlaws. Charlie ends up in possession of a treasure map to Mexican gold that may just get him killed.
"The pace is fast, the action plentiful, the characters colorful and memorable, and the writing is top-notch." - Wayne D. Dundee
