Passing uneasily through the dried-up town of Espero, Texas, John Slocum learns soon enough that his apprehension is justified. After a not-so-friendly welcome at the Six Feet Under Saloon, he's given the choice between a bullet or a bit of employment- Escort the town mortician's strikingly pretty bride-to-be from a train station at Dexter Junction-in exchange for a hefty sum.
But with someone after the gunslinger and the mysterious beauty, Slocum reckons that the undertaker neglected to tell him the whole story. There's treachery in store for Slocum upon returning to Espero, a place where men have been known to land in an early grave... much too early...
