About this audiobook
Several travelers risk death, and worse, to reach Lordsburg, Arizona. Among them — an English hunter, a whiskey drummer, a young woman known only as Henriette, an army officer's fiancée, a gambler and Malpais Bill, who's on his way to a gunfight.
The stage route crosses hostile Apache territory — and they will be spotted.
