About the Book

The year is 1874, and the Wild's gang is preparing to rob a banking coach deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest. Bronco, the leader, prepares his sons, Coyote and Peacock, as well as the rest of the gang. The robbery goes awry when Peacock betrays the gang and causes the death of Bronco. Coyote vows revenge on his half-brother, no matter the cost. Five years later, Coyote has gained a jagged scar across his left eye, and has grown no closer to avenging his father. That is, until he comes across a newspaper article detailing a recent bank robbery perpetrated by the "White-Coated Devil." With a hunch that this may be the man he's looking for, Coyote sets off into the desert to find an old friend from his days with the Wild's gang that might help him track down his nemesis.
