The epic saga of Smoke Jensen takes a wild and dangerous turn when the legendary mountain man joins a wagon train of war widowsâon a doomed journey through hell . . .
Big Rock, Colorado, has seen its share of wagon trains pass through town, but never one like this. For starters, itâs led by a womanâa sweet southern belle named Annabelleâand the passengers are young Civil War widows and orphans. The only man on board is Annabelleâs father, a former colonel blinded in the war. Theyâre on their way to Purgatory Butte, Wyoming, to run the ranch the colonel inherited. Smokeâs wife, Sally Jensen, thinks itâs a noble goal and wants to help the women outâby volunteering her husbandâs protection on the treacherous journey north. In spite of his doubts, Smoke agrees.
The trouble starts before they even leave town. First a pack of ruffians harass the women, then a pair of saloon girls decide to join the wagon train. To top things off, Sally insists on coming along,âgiving Smoke one more thing to worry about.
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But this road has plenty of bad ones, too. If Smoke Jensen canât figure out which is which, this whole train will be dead on arrival.
