Synopsis: From the award-winning author of The Legendary Kid Donovan comes the story of a man who has just found the family he never wanted.
After his father is mysteriously gunned down in the wild town Tombstone, Arizona, Paddy Doyle Junior's first instinct is to hunt down those responsible and send them to meet their maker. Luckily for Junior, he has a friend as wise as Wyatt Earp—who knows a thing or two about violent vengeance—to steer him away from this course of action.
With a new purpose in mind, Junior looks into his father’s past, hoping to learn something about the mother he never knew, who died when he was born—only to discover that his entire life has been a lie. His mother lives, as do four brothers and a sister he never knew about. And his father was never a miner, but an outlaw who passed along his thieving sensibilities to Junior’s brothers.
And when he’s brought into the “family business” despite his misgivings, Junior finds himself caught between the law and loyalty.
