"Dusty takes readers into the real west at full gallop." —<i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Jodi Thomas<br /><br />Ride into an unforgettable tale of valiant courage and bloody conflict from the Western Heritage and Spur award--winning author Dusty Richards. . .<br /><br /><b>They've Crossed The Line. . .</b><br /><br />Chet Byrnes has his hands full taking care of his family and running his ranching operation in Arizona Territory. But he still takes his responsibilities as a deputy U.S. marshal very seriously. Bandits have been crossing the border, cutting a bloody swath of mayhem—stealing horses, robbing banks, and murdering innocent folk—then high-tailing it back to safety in Mexico. <br /><br /><b>For The Last Time</b><br /><br />The chief U.S. marshal asks Chet to lead a secret task force to stop the raids and round up the border bandits—dead or alive. But the bandits fight back—putting a five-hundred-dollar bounty on Chet's head. Now he's got bushwhackers to deal with, and when he's led into an ambush, it's kill or be killed in a life-or-death showdown. . .<br /><br />"Dusty Richards writes. . .with the flavor of the real West." —Elmer Kelton
