In "Flaming Vengeance," Lash LaRue arrives in Cottonwood as an undercover U.S. Marshal, determined to restore order in a town torn apart by a power struggle between a domineering rancher and a group of homesteaders.

With the town on the brink of violence, Lash must decide how far he’ll go to enforce the law—and whether peace can be built on justice, not vengeance.
