Hell's Jaw Pass

The second in a rail-blazing new series set in the early days of the transcontinental railroad--when America headed west, outlaws climbed on board, and one man risked his life to stop them in their tracks.

The building of the transcontinental railroad is the story of America itself. Full of great dreams--and greater dangers--it required bold vision, back-breaking work, and one brave man to stop the baddest of the bad men every step of the way. His name is Wolf Stockburn, railroad detective...

NEXT STOP, HELL. ALL ABOARD!

This pretty gal isn’t just flirting with Wolf, she’s flirting with disaster. And that disaster comes with a hail of bullets, and—before it’s all over—a lot of blood on the tracks...
