Hangman's Gulch was built on fear.

For years the crooked gallows in the center of town had been used to settle scores, silence witnesses, and keep honest men quiet. When a stranger named Luke Fallon rides into the dusty settlement, he finds a town where the law belongs to the fastest gun—and the noose is ready for anyone who speaks out.

But Fallon isn't the kind of man who waits for a rope.

After a daring jailbreak turns the town upside down, Fallon and a hunted rider make a desperate run for freedom across the desert. Behind them rides a posse of killers determined to make an example of anyone who defies Hangman's Gulch.

Now the race is on.

Across burning plains and canyon trails, Fallon must outride the lawless town that wants him dead—and face the man who built the gallows.

Because in Hangman's Gulch…

you either ride hard—or hang.
