A ruthless gang of toughs has been running roughshod over the citizens of Bonanza, and bodies are piling up: one dead mayor, two dead marshals and way too many dead miners. Adam Collier has been a fighter all his life, first in the army and then against any hardcase who thought he could take Adam on. He"s never lost a battle yet. When he"s appointed the new mayor, Adam naturally figures he can win back justice for Bonanza as well. He just hasn"t figured on fighting his own best friends.
