Born in Charles Dickens's London, the Walker brothers joined "The Great Mormon Migration" as children, when they were forced from their home in Nauvoo, Illinois. While beloved by Brigham Young for their service to the Church in times of trouble, they were also hunted as outlaws, with only a forgotten page of history to mark their passing. This, then, is their story.

Utah Territory, 1870. Deputy United States Marshal Ransom Parker, fresh from a four-year stint in Indian territory, was grateful to be assigned duty in "Mormon Country." He was tired of looking over his shoulder for Sioux raiding parties. Salt Lake City, with its cosmopolitan flair, was just what he needed, or so he thought. He had barely settled in before being confronted with a missing federal officer, presumed dead; the ritualistic killing of a young woman; and a county sheriff who knew more about each than he let on.

Arizona Territory, 1881. Having left cattle-war-torn Wyoming the year before, Tom Keene has now found supposed tranquility for his family in the once sleepy town of Tombstone. Swirling around his bright future as a rancher, however, is a growing struggle between outlaw elements in the area and Wyatt Earp and his brothers, who have vowed to bring them to account for their crimes. Try as he might to remain only an observer, Keene is eventually drawn into the conflict with unforeseen consequences.

Wyoming Territory, 1880. Tom Keene, former lawman turned bounty hunter, has set aside his dangerous past to try his hand at ranching a quarter section of rangeland outside the sleepy frontier town of Eden. But he soon discovers that his paradise is overrun with snakes-the two-legged variety.
