That snow-bound little mining town that hid away in a northern Utah valley was known without fondness as Mixed Blessings. For Gage Haggard, town marshal, the name fit pretty good. He'd got himself a home and a sweetheart in that isolated refuge and got respectable thanks to a scuffed tin star, 'til the past caught up with him that is...
The bloody past of a gunfighter from a sun-bleached land.
Now, as the half-mad townsfolk turn on him, the outsider must face his biggest challenge since crossing to the right side of the law. A young desperado named Mad Dog comes to town and triggers a perilous mountain journey to the big city. But the Sheriff is dead in a blizzard and who but Gage will see the outlaw to trial and the gallows? If the kid is even guilty of the evil he's confessed to, that is.
Pursued by the hired guns of a railroad tycoon, lawman and prisoner must survive a train robbery, ambushes and the mixed company of a band of settlers hauling their one-room schoolhouse cross country. And when the wagons are circled, Gage Haggard must tie down his six-gun leather and prepare for one last showdown.
