Slocum’s invited to attend a funeral—his own. John Slocum was given two hundred dollars and a ticket to Cheyenne, Wyoming with the promise of employment, but not told what kind of services he’d be rendering. On board the train, he’s forced to defend himself against a badman who’s clothed like an undertaker—and lucky that Slocum didn’t put him six feet under. Slocum’s assailant is just one of several gunfighters cryptically known as the Undertakers, who leave their victims flat on their backs with their arms crossed over their chests as if they’re lying in coffins, and plant crude grave marker crosses behind their heads. They’re working for a greedy rancher looking to enlarge his spread over the land belonging to Miss Clarissa Montcalm. But now the Undertakers face the Angel of Death known as Slocum…

A six-shooter doesn’t do much good when you’re six feet under… Slocum likes to bury himself in his work…but now he’s in way over his head. Trapped underground, fighting for his life, all he can do is think about how he got into this mess… It all started because of the most notorious road agent west of the Mississippi, Les Jeter. Slocum had to make sure that this outlaw paid for the lives he’d taken…along with Slocum’s most prized possession—his brother’s watch. And he wasn’t alone on the hunt. Ambrose Killian was obsessed with Jeter and wanted to bring this legend to justice for his own sordid reasons. Hot on his trail, Killian’s enlisted his luscious secretary, a rival criminal, and a gang of greedy lawmen. Slocum knew it would be a challenging job. Almost as challenging as staying alive as the minutes tick by—and the air runs out…

Slocum's running hot and cold... One man’s misfortune is another man’s gain. In John Slocum’s case, he gets his hands on road agents’ poorly hidden bags of stolen silver. Making off with the loot, he slips into Tombstone hoping to enjoy his winnings peacefully. But that’s never the case for someone like Slocum… Easy on the eyes, Spring Atkins can make a man feel warm inside, but her heart is as cold as ice. Slocum’s instinct is on the mark when he learns from her sisters, Summer and Autumn—that Spring stole the ore-rich Silver Chalice mine from them. He knows better than to get in the middle of a family dispute, but when the road agents come looking for revenge, he can use the seasons to his advantage—if they don’t leave him as dead as a winter frost…

"Contrary to what public history and popular literature might have led us to believe, Nantucket is historically an island of rich cultural diversity. Here, author Frances Ruley Karttunen introduces us to the original Nantucketers -- the Wampanoags -- as well as to African slaves, Pacific Islanders, Irish refugees, Azoreans, and Cape Verdeans who over the years have found a home on Nantucket. Here, too, is a look at the island's connection to Jamaica, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia -- all sources of people who have contributed to the island's economy and added dimensions to Nantucket's culture" -- Back cover.
