Crack Western #68

Arizona Raines and his partner Spurs pursue a killer across the burning salt flats, only to stumble upon a phantom town that shouldn't exist—one where dead outlaws walk free and the lawmen they've brought to justice preside as judges. Trapped in this nightmarish place of the dead, Arizona and Spurs must find a way to escape before the outlaw court carries out its death sentence.

When the railroads come calling on Dead Canyon, Big Jim Croker sees dollar signs—and he'll stop at nothing to own every acre between here and Coyote Gap. The reclusive rancher Spence Macklin won't sell, and won't back down, but when an old prospector's wild claim about silver strikes the town, a stampede of fortune hunters threatens to overrun the very land these men are fighting for. Macklin's hermit disguise and quiet resolve are about to be tested in ways he never expected.

Marshal Bob Allen travels to the outlaw-controlled town of Dry Gulch under false pretenses, posing as a quiet stranger to investigate the murders of the town's lawman and his deputy.
