A TOXIC BREW OF INFIDELITY, SKULLDUGGERY AND MURDER

Montana-based detective and gun repairer Ulysses Underhill is coerced into joining a posse hunting down Israel Hagan, a thief and alleged killer. Ulysses, who once was a vigilante but is now trying to leave his violent past behind, prevents the posse from summarily executing Hagan. In doing so, however, he makes himself an enemy of Sheriff John Crumley. Facing the noose, Hagan employs Ulysses to track down the real killer. As Ulysses gets ever closer to the truth, multiple attempts are made on his life. During his search he meets Eleanor Gold, a beautiful and enchanting widow, and faces a race against time to keep witnesses alive and get them to Hagan's trial.
