When a Sioux war party massacres a wagon train in Bloody Canyon, Wild Bill Hickok fights through overwhelming odds to rescue Betty Walden—the sole survivor who holds a secret map to the lost Aztec treasure.

Wild Bill Hickok falls to an assassin's bullet in Hays City, and the Darrows gang runs rampant through town, believing the marshal who could stop them is gone for good. When a mysterious gunslinger claiming to be Hickok himself—risen from Boot Hill—begins hunting the outlaws, the gang must decide whether they're facing a ghost or something far more cunning. A six-page frontier showdown where the truth about the marshal's fate proves deadlier than any legend.
Wild Bill Hickok thought he'd seen the last of outlaw Sudden Jim Dorn when the killer swung from the gallows—but a month later, a mysterious figure matching Dorn's description is robbing stages and trains around Abilene with eerie regularity. As whispers of a ghost spread through town, Wild Bill must track down the truth behind these supernatural-seeming crimes and confront a mystery that his guns alone may not be able to solve.
After riding north from the defeated South, Clay Allison earns his deadly reputation as the Quick Colt Killer—a man whose lightning draw and ruthless cunning leave a trail of challengers dead in his wake. When a vendetta, a showdown with Wyatt Earp, and a campaign of terror against those who dare criticize him all converge, Clay's run of violence accelerates toward an inevitable reckoning. This tale of raw frontier justice captures a gunslinger at the height of his notoriety, before fate deals him a hand he cannot shoot his way out of.
