Longarm had a new mission. Ride to Crooked Lance. Pick up Cotton Younger, killer cousin of Jesse James, from the town jail. Bring him to trial. It was easy. Except for one thing. Deputy Kincaid had already tried it. And Deputy Kincaid was nowhere to be found...

Nobody at Crooked Lance wanted him to do his job -- not the beautiful widow woman, or the Federal Agent -- or the James gang -- but Longarm never gave up when he had work to do.
