The Outlaw Life

Near death, a gunman finds safe haven—and a new life—in an outlaw town

Tucker finds Chase Carver huddled in an alleyway behind a restaurant, fighting wild dogs for scraps of food. Shortly thereafter Tucker offers Chase a square meal and a warm bed in a fine hotel. How can they afford it? Easy. When morning comes, they will leave without paying. Tucker is an outlaw, and Chase is grateful to learn his ways. The rules are simple: Never look scared, never get greedy, and never stay in a town more than one night—unless that town is Bandolero, where every thief is welcome.

After finding a home in this paradise, Chase quickly earns himself the nickname "Mad Dog." But when the love of a beautiful woman forces him to turn on his fellow bandits, he finds himself pursued by lawman and outlaw alike, with death at his back and no friend to call his own.
