Johnstone Country. Mountain Man Justice. If theres one thing Smoke Jensen hates, is a man who fights dirty. And no one fights dirtier than a politician. Especially a lying, cheating, no-good grifter like Senator Rex Underhill. Luckily, with another election coming up, this senatorial snake in the grass has some serious competition: Smokes old friend, Sheriff Monte Carson. Carson's an honest man, and he's got Smokes full support. But Underhills got support, too: a squad of hired guns ready to hit the campaign trail--and stain it red with blood . . . Swapping bullets for ballots, Underhills henchman make it all too clear that Sheriff Carson is not just a candidate on the rise, hes a target on the run. But with Smokes grassroots support--and lightning-fast trigger--he manages to stay alive in the race. That is, until Carsons righteous campaign takes a near-fatal turn when the Senator Underhill tricks his opponents, traps them in a mine, and literally buries the sheriffs political ambitions. When the going gets tough, Smoke gets even. When this game turns deadly, it's winner kills all . . .
